Few franchise legends receive the perfect ending that Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Brandon Graham was given.
Returning right before the Super Bowl, Graham walked away a champion, leaving a great Philly legacy that will forever make the former player a popular figure. Winning two Super Bowls and racking up impressive numbers along the way is a great way to etch yourself into franchise history. Graham also walks away as the third all-time leading sack artist for the Eagles.
Only Trent Cole and the great Reggie White finished their respective Eagles careers with more than Graham's 76.5 sacks. If not for a handful of frustrating injuries, it is easy to argue that the pass rusher passes Cole. However, the accomplishments and numbers remain impressive and will open the door to a new era of future opportunities.

Eagles Legend Brandon Graham Moves to the Next Stage of His Career Joining Sports Media
Graham's new gig continues a recent theme of turning over the game to voices that have actual experience. Whether it is putting Tom Brady in the booth or putting together former players' pregame shows, networks are all putting a much heavier focus on ceding the floor to those who have actually played.
It isn't a surprising move after the former defensive end is expected to spend a lot of time on "Good Morning Football." For Philly fans, it is easy to understand this decision. The energy and tenor of the morning show easily fit with Graham's personality and the direction he can go in a new role. It is an exciting step and continues to give Philly a voice in sports media. Perhaps this will continue to help balance the frustrating coverage.
Whether it is a heavier focus on the Kansas City Chiefs team the Eagles just demolished in the Super Bowl, or underrating Jalen Hurts, Philly fans can easily find fault with how their franchise is covered. While Graham's joining the network is just a drop in the bucket, it is a step in the right direction.
One that gives the Philly legend a great chance to start what could be the next long-term career. It provides Eagles fans with a far better reason to tune in as we close in on the regular season and football finally returns.
