He was one of us.
He has always been one of us.
He just had to come to Philadelphia to realize it.
He’s a Philadelphia Eagles legend. He’s earned the right to be called that. He’s responsible for one of the most iconic plays in Philadelphia sports history—and incredibly, does so much more off the field. You always know he’s in the room by his contagious, bellowing laugh, and his infectious personality.
Everybody loves Brandon Graham.
And after anyone meets him, they come away feeling the affection is reciprocated.
That is why it was so hard to say goodbye this week when Graham announced his retirement after 15 seasons with the Eagles.
