Eagles news: Another year for Brian Dawkins, another milestone for Brandon Graham

Ask any man, and he'll tell you legacy is important. That's why we're so proud of our children, and why we work so hard to leave our mark before our time ends. Brandon Graham and Brian Dawkins know a thing or two about legacies. Both are walking superheroes. Both will remember October 13th, 2024 very fondly.

It's kind of a big day for both of these gentlemen!

Eagles news: It's Brian Dawkins' birthday!

That's right guys and gals. The guy who made us feel like we can all be superheroes walks into another year of life. He's officially stepping into his 51st year of life!

What's funny is he's still rock solid and looks like he can play a few snaps. Oh, that's right! 'Wolverine' doesn't age like the rest of us!

That's an X-Men reference... You guys have to keep up!

Typically, we place special emphasis on turning 50. There aren't that many occasions when we place a ton of emphasis on someone turning 51, but we'll make an exception in Dawk's case.

We imagine he's somewhere doing that bear crawl of his. Hopefully, he can enjoy an Eagles win as a gift too!

More Eagles news: Brandon Graham does something no other Eagles players has ever done... EVER!

When he finally hangs up the cleats (at the rate he's going, he might be able to play one more year), Brandon Graham will have quite the story to tell his grandchildren.

He has gone from being a first-round draft choice to being on the fringe of being cut to becoming one of the most beloved players in Eagles history, like Brian Dawkins.

Oh, and speaking of history...

B.G., in Week 6 versus the Cleveland Browns, will do something no other Eagles player has done in this franchise's 90-plus-year history. He's playing his 200th regular-season game.

Technically, he's already well past 200 if you count his 11 playoff appearances.

He's the author of the greatest strip-sack in Super Bowl history... and a smile that stlll lights up a room. We love this dude! Congrats B.G.! You have earned this honor.
