The NFL sent out a press release hyping the impact of various rookies around the NFL so far this preseason. On the list was Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham. They specifically noted his performance against the Bengals in which he had two tackles for a loss, a sack, and a QB hurry. Trent Cole says he sees "greatness" in his tandem with Graham.
"I see greatness," says TRENT COLE, who will line up at the other starting defensive end position, about Graham. "I see us having a great time this season, flying around the ball, making plays and getting sacks. I see it all. I can picture it right now."
Graham said he was excited about his elevation to starter and plans to stay there.
It was exciting,” says Graham. “I just know now I have to keep it up. I can’t be going back and forth. I want to just go out there and compete. I feel like I’m progressing just from knowing how to practice to going out there and feeling comfortable. Knowing that I already know the plays, I can stop thinking and go out there and do it. It’s made me faster.”

Didn't know anything about him on draft day
Since he’s been here he’s said all the right things, gotten better and better, and showed up in games. There’s no way not to be hyped about Graham.
Lol
Remember in the draft thread when goodell said Brandon Graham everyone freaked out ?

I have a feeling that while his numbers may not be all that impressive initially, his play will serve to take pressure off of the rest of the line and we will see a concumittent improvement in everyone’s play. It is hard not to be excited by him.
I really think he’ll have a good year stats wise. He’s a rookie, so Cole will still get the majority of the double teams, which will leave him free. If after a couple games his name is being thrown around alot, then other OC’s will start to game plan for him, but it will also leave Cole more open then.
announcers, "experts" and everyone else have been felating this kid since he was drafted
i hope he produces
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
