Over an offseason game of pop-a-shot, Andre Dillard tried to get to the bottom of Brandon Graham’s relentless positivity.
The two Eagles linemen finished their workouts around the same time last spring and converged at the mini-basketball hoops Nick Sirianni has added to the weight room.
Each of them joined the Eagles as a first-round pick with lofty expectations. Their careers had each gotten off to turbulent beginnings, and they both caught the ire of frustrated fans early on. Graham, 34, eventually shed his “bust” label to become a revered member of the organization and is in the final stretch of a career that will go down in Eagles history.
