The Philadelphia Eagles are onto the Super Bowl after a dominant victory against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. They're now awaiting the winner of the AFC equivalent of the matchup, yet one key injured star may return for the ultimate game.

Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts are the respective straws that make the drinks stir, though the offensive line remains the most important part of this offense. Defensively, the Eagles' defensive line continually ranks among the NFL's best and should be praised.

Star defensive end Brandon Graham, who previously teased a return for the Super Bowl, reiterated a potential comeback now that Philadelphia made the final game.

Eagles Legend DE Brandon Graham Hints at Potential SB Return

Brandon Graham is one of the most legendary Eagles players in the last two decades. He's spent his entire 15-year career with the organization, establishing himself as the ideal representative of Philadelphia sports.

Speaking to the media after the victory over the Commanders, Graham said "We'll see" regarding a Super Bowl appearance. In all likelihood, Graham won't be on the field. Should he overcome the odds and suit up? One can only imagine the impact he'll have on the fans in New Orleans.

The Eagles have one of the NFL's best rosters, led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, to say nothing of A.J. Brown and the many talented players on the defensive side of the ball. Should Graham get back on the field, his partnership alongside Jalen Carter should terrify any potential opponents.

Graham may just be playing coy about his potential status. The former All-Pro defender is the perfect illustration of the Eagles though, so fans certainly hope he can recover from his injury in time to get on the field.

Regardless, this is a wonderful day for Philadelphia that deserves celebration. We'll find out soon if Graham can suit up but the Eagles are just one win away from their second Super Bowl in the last six seasons.
