The star of Eagles training camp today was undoubtedly first round pick Brandon Graham, who gave Winston Justice fits in both the morning and afternoon practices.
Graham was so quick getting off the line in the morning, Justice jumped offsides two plays in a row. The penalties caused Andy Reid to pull Justice off the field for a play. Later in the morning session Justice ripped Graham’s helmet off.
It didn’t get any easier for Justice in the afternoon session according to Jordan Ranaan.
Brandon Graham having a HUGE afternoon practice. Just dominated Winston Justice with a bullrush.
Moving the Chains also noticed Graham’s strong afternoon practice.
Every time Brandon Graham is on the field, I notice him. Best description I can give at this point
It’s actually fairly rare for rookie defensive ends to have big seasons in their rookie year, but if Graham keeps up this pace he could buck the trend and be a big contributor for the Eagles this year. As the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane commented today, it’s “Only a matter of time before Brandon Graham is the starting LDE.”
