Eagles' Brandon Graham Breaks Down in Radio Spot After Injury
The Philadelphia Eagles are riding high, and also reeling, after their Week 12 victory. While the team won in dominant fashion and saw star running back Saquon Barkley put together one of the best performances in the NFL this season, it also received news that franchise legend Brandon Graham would miss the rest of the year after suffering a torn triceps muscle.
Graham has already given emotional comments on the situation, and his teammates have rallied behind him, but a radio appearance on Tuesday shows just how much the 36-year-old is disappointed by the injury.
Appearing on 94 WIP, Graham was forced to take a moment during his interview as he was overcome by emotion. Fighting back tears, the veteran said he knows he's not letting anyone down in terms of his play, but he's "hurt" that he won't be able to fight alongside his football brothers and see the rest of the season out with them on the field.
Graham added that this year, his 15th season in Philly, was a big one for him on a personal level. He called out those who have doubted him throughout his career, and pointed to his production at his age as a reason he's holding his head high despite this tough news.
As if there was any more reason for Eagles fans to love Graham, his vulnerable showcase during this radio spot just highlights how incredible of a person and player he is. He's clearly unhappy with the fact his NFL career may end like this, but he's determined to remain around the team and offer any help he can as they seek a second Super Bowl during the vet's time in Philly.
