Eagles lifer Brandon Graham plays in 200th game

BG is the first Eagles player to ever reach this milestone.

When defensive lineman Brandon Graham stepped on to the field today against the Cleveland Browns, the Philadelphia Eagles legend notched his 200th career regular season game in the NFL.

Since being drafted 13th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft, Graham has played all 15 of his seasons in Philadelphia and is the only player in franchise history to reach this historic milestone. His 15 seasons on the team are also a franchise record. He, obviously, has his name strewn about the Eagles’ all-time record book.

According to the NFL, only four other active NFL defensive players have reached this benchmark: Washington Commanders linebacker Nick Bellore, Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell, Houston Texans defensive end Jerry Hughes, and New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan.

“I’m enjoying the moments now, but then it’s going to be something to talk about later with my kids and stuff like that,” Graham told Dave Spadaro of the Eagles official website, “Remember this, remember that, but I’m sure they’re going to remember some stuff, but not everything. Just trying to enjoy it now.”

A native of Detroit, Graham embodies the spirit of Philadelphia fans fully and, even now at the age of 36, he’s still barking at the other team to let them know that things won’t be easy against him.

One of the heroes of Philadelphia’s only Super Bowl championship, Graham has 74 sacks, 472 tackles (121 TFL), 148 QB hits, 21 forced fumbles (seven recoveries), and one touchdown in his lengthy and illustrious career. This year he has eight tackles (two TFL), and one sack.

Congratulations to Brandon Graham and hopefully there is also a long playoff run in his future so he can end (???) his career on a high note.
