Brandon Graham Announces Retirement

Brandon Graham Announces Retirement

Brandon Graham will officially go out on top. The notorious edge rusher will finally call it quits after 15 NFL Seasons. Graham, 36, tore his triceps twice last season which may have been a big factor in deciding to go this route. Either way, Graham finishes his career as a champion.

“To Philadelphia, we didn’t start so tight as you know. You made me work for this and I appreciate you for that,” Graham said in conclusion to the announcement of his retirement. “Through the struggles, the injuries and moments, I had to prove myself again. You never let me get comfortable. You held me accountable. You kept that chip on my shoulder. You pushed me to be better and when the time came, we celebrated together, two times. This city is built off hard work, resilience and unmatched passion. You bring the same energy to every game, every moment and every season. Your loyalty, your fire and unwavering support mean everything to me and this organization. Philly doesn’t just support its teams, it lives for them and I see it and I feel it. I appreciate every single one of you and thank you for being the heartbeat of this city.

“This game has changed my life, but more importantly this city has changed my life. It has given me a purpose far beyond football. It has shown me what it means to be a leader, a friend, a man of faith and integrity. While my time on the field is coming to an end, my love for this team and city will never fade. Philadelphia and everybody from the bottom of my heart, I just want to thank y’all. E-A-G-L-E-S. Eagles! Fly, Eagles Fly. BG out, baby!”

Cheers to a hell of a career as Graham leaves the game as a two-time Super Bowl champion and a lifetime member of the Philadelphia Eagles. The former first round pick out of Michigan finishes his career with 76.5 sacks, which is third in franchise history. No question Philly got their money’s worth on their first round pick way back in 2010.
