B. Graham: "I want to be feared..."
In advance of his pro day, Brandon Graham conducted a little Q&A with The Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer. As always, BG comes across as serious, smart, motivated, and a team player. In short: NFL-ready. I give him an A+ in today's Advanced Media Relations exercise.
Sample Q&A:
VI: What NFL player did you idolize growing up? BG: It wasn't a defensive end but a linebacker — Ray Lewis. I would like to be just like him on the football field. I want to be feared, where I put pressure on the linemen and make them a little intimidated to block me. ::: VI: When finished playing football, what do you hope others say about your career? BG: That coaches and players could trust and believe in me, that I was playing for everybody else. I want to be known as the ultimate team player, that no matter how many plays I was making, that I always did what I could to help us win the game.
i see how amazing graham is, it makes me a little sad - he deserved So Much More during his time here.
BG embodies what it means to be a Michigan man. This guy is all about the team and he has a motor that won't quit. A lot of teams are probably going to pass on BG and I have a feeling those teams will be very sorry they did so.
if he was 2 in taller he would be a top five pick. FEAR BG!
when his career in the NFL is wrapped up. Just seems like he has knowledge of how to overcome being a smaller stature player and his team mentality would be great for a D-line coach.
maybe he will be Mike Hart's Defensive Coordinator.
HC- Mike Hart
OC- Tyrone Wheatley
DC- Brandon Graham
The Super Michigan Man Coaching Lineup.
Question is... Will Charles Woodson settle for a Assistant Head Coach/DB Coach? :P
he can be the AD
he needs to be a part of the first father-son, coach-player, only-two-defensive-players-in-history to win Heisman when Charles Jr wins it.
Nick Sheridan under QB's coach.
I'd hate to seem him saddled with the dolts running those two franchises.
Wish we had one more year with him. Because it took him a couple years to develop it felt like he was only @ UM for such a short while. Best of luck to him wherever he goes, and unless its the raiders I will def grab a BG jersey!
Like a true Michigan Man, he is well-read. You can tell he's read Machiavelli.
What makes you say this?
Mission Accomplished...
Wish Granted.
I really hope he's drafted by a competitive team
Have him going either to the Falcons or Patriots... Those 2" too short that he is makes him not a top 5 pick, and therefore more likely to go to a better team
