Eagles Rookie Sends Brandon Graham Heartfelt Message After Injury on Social Media
By Joe Summers
Eagles legend Brandon Graham suffered a devastating torn biceps injury during a Sunday Night Football win over the Rams, potentially ending his historic career that's made him one of the best players in franchise history.
While fans mourned what looks like the last game Graham will play in the NFL, one rookie took to social media to express his support for a man who has played his entire 15-year career in Philadelphia.
2024 third-round pick Jalyx Hunt, who has plenty of potential but limited highlights in his rookie campaign, made sure he showed proper respect.
Eagles Rookie Makes Social Media Post to Support Brandon Graham
"Keep the main thing the main thing," Hunt shared with a picture of himself and Graham. "The mission is the mission."
The implication is that despite the injury, Graham wants his teammates to carry on and finish the job. Thanks to Saquon Barkley's record-setting night, the Eagles look like a top-five team in the entire league with a clear path to the Super Bowl.
Detroit looks scary, but it's hard to argue that Philadelphia doesn't look scarier with Barkley rolling like this. If Graham's career is truly over, he's a no-doubt Eagles Hall of Famer with 487 tackles and 76.5 sacks in 206 games played.
Thankfully for Graham, he managed to record a sack to move into third on the Eagles' all-time list. With a Super Bowl ring on his hand and an immeasurable impact on the organization, he'll forever be remembered as a great.
It's sad to see a player of his magnitude's career come to an end like this. Here's hoping he'll give it another go but either way, there's no doubting his status as a special player in Philadelphia sports history.
