Brandon Graham sees something bold in a rising Eagles voice.
They say the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. It’s a way of life that’s truer in football than in basketball. The Philadelphia Eagles are the evidence. Sure, Birds fans will keep an eye on former coaches and players, but there’s no abandoning ship when anyone leaves.
That’s more of an NBA trait. LeBron James fans were Cleveland Cavaliers fans. They followed him to South Beach, back to Cleveland, and now, they’re cheering for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Can you imagine if such a sin were committed in the City of Brotherly Love? It would never happen. The faces change, but the train keeps on running.
Brandon Graham names an heir, one you may not have expected
We’ve learned a great deal while watching one era of Eagles football bleed into another. The game must be respected, and so many of the rules are familiar.
Retire, or the game will retire you. Those who are lucky retire on their terms. Fletcher Cox, Jason Kelce, and Brandon Graham did that.
They all played for Andy Reid, Chip Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni. Kelce and Cox retired during the 2024 offseason. Graham called it quits this past March.
When legends ride off into the sunset, there are huge shoes to fill. This wasn’t any different. Losing three members of ‘The Core Four’ meant there were huge shoes to fill, both on the field and in the locker room.
We may have found the emotional leaders necessary to fill Graham’s sizable cleats. We’ve known Nolan Smith could do so for a while, but during an appearance on Exciting Mics, Graham mentioned another, Moro Ojomo. He’s the heir to Graham’s trash-talking dynasty.
The 15-year legend mentioned another, the usually reserved Jalen Carter, but Carter’s endorsement came with a warning label. Per the author of the greatest strip-sack in NFL history, once he gets rolling, it may be hard to reel him back in.
NFL Films has captured Graham’s legendary trash-talking moments for years, but Philadelphia is undoubtedly in good hands. Nolan Smith has often mentioned Graham as his big brother. Reed Blankenship expressed, during Exciting Mics, that he has already adopted his former teammate’s leadership style. Something tells us the next 15 years of Eagles football will be just as exciting as the last 15.
