5 current Eagles with best chance of reaching Pro Football Hall of Fame
By Dan Parzych
5. Brandon Graham
No matter what happens to Brandon Graham down the road as far as Canton is concerned, the defensive star will forever be a legend in the City of Brotherly Love due to forcing a fumble on Tom Brady near the end of Super Bowl 52 to help give the Eagles their first title in franchise history.
After there were some concerns over the possibility of losing Graham in free agency, Philadelphia convinced the defensive end to return on a hefty three-year deal last March, and it didn’t take long to prove once again he was worth every penny.
In a way, Graham is the perfect example of how any player is capable of turning their career around following a rough start since hope appeared to be lost for Graham early on after joining the Eagles in 2010 before going on to become one of the top defenders in the league.
The fact that Graham already has 7.5 sacks through 14 games in 2019, and is two away from tying a new career high to show there’s still plenty of gas left in the old tank.
It’s hard to believe an impact player like Graham has never reached the Pro Bowl once in his career, and could very well hurt his chances of reaching an honorable place like Canton, but maybe if he finishes his time in the NFL on a high note, there will be hope down the road.
