Brandon Graham, the legendary Philadelphia Eagles defensive end, has officially announced his retirement from the NFL after an incredible 15-season career.¹ ² ³ Graham, a first-round pick out of Michigan in 2010, spent his entire career with the Eagles, setting the team record for most regular-season games played (206) and ranking third all-time in sacks (76.5).
Graham’s retirement marks the end of an era for the Eagles, and he’ll be remembered for his iconic strip-sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII, which helped secure the Eagles’ first Lombardi Trophy. He’s a two-time Super Bowl champion and was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2020.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie praised Graham, saying, “Brandon Graham is the embodiment of everything you want in a Philadelphia Eagle… It was the way he played the game and the way he carried himself that earned him the love and respect of his coaches, teammates, and fans”. Graham’s legacy will continue to inspire future Eagles players, and his impact on the team will be felt for years to come.
