The first thing you notice when you meet Brandon Graham is the smile. It never wavers. He is a relentlessly upbeat person, and it shows in his countenance. Graham, a first-round draft pick by the Eagles in 2010, has needed every bit of that attitude to climb to the top of the NFL’s food chain.
Graham was named second-team All-Pro by The Associated Press on Friday, a second honor for the defensive end, finishing his seventh season as an Eagle. Earlier, Graham was voted as a first alternate to the Pro Bowl’s NFC team, and it remains to be seen if he will make the trip to Orlando.
