Heading into Year 13, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham has seen it all. When it comes to the pieces surrounding him, Graham — the team’s longest-tenured player — can typically decipher who possesses real talent and the qualities needed to survive through a grueling NFL schedule.
So when Graham was asked Tuesday afternoon about his impressions of the team’s current linebacking corps, his response caused nearby onlookers to offer a double take with perked ears.
“Man, honestly,” Graham said before pausing for a slight second, “we can be really good. We’ve got some dawgs back there. I’m excited to see how they can put that together. Right now, on defense, we’re looking good. I’m liking what’s going on.”
