Eagles/ESPN Consider Brandon Graham Top Surprise
Article on ESPN about the eagles training camp. Lists the biggest surprise thus far in camp as none other than Brandon Graham. Not an eagles fan but I'm excited to watch him play this year, hopefully he keeps it up.
Here's the link;

Also calls Jason Avant "one of the best third receivers in the league."

just beat me to posting this exact same thing

I've been watching some of M's games from last year. Finished the state game where Graham laid out Winston?....now moved on to the Iowa game to see Graham crush McNutt on a completed pass seven yards downfield.
It will be exciting to watch him crush some Cowboys and Redskins this year......

My favorite part of that play is when BG gets up, he uses Winston's head to push himself to his feet. That play is what I think of whenever a BG thread pops up.

I see two plays. One is the Winston hit, the other is from the MSU game the year before. Ringer scores a long touchdown from the left side and the only Wolverine appearing to close distant on him is Graham who chases him all the way downfield he though he knows he won't catch him.
Can't ask for much more from a DE and I think he'll be a beast in the NFL based solely on his desire.

I also remember thinking to myself, "where the hell is everybody else? Go Graham, go!"

Raise your hand if you are surprised that Graham is already destroying foes. Didn't think so.

or looking for a quick hit
I know it's tough to call a first-rounder a "surprise," but Brandon Graham has exceeded everyone's expectations. I love how he's spent time in the film room studying some of the shorter defensive ends around the league. And then he immediately takes some of the moves (Elvis Dumervil) to the field. The Eagles' offensive line doesn't know what to do with Graham, and I think other NFC East offensive tackles will have the same issue. Graham is learning how to use his arms at this level and he already gets incredibly low to the ground when he's turning the corner. He's been the story of camp in a lot of ways. Can't wait to see him in a game. And one more surprise: Ellis Hobbs is having an excellent camp after returning from a neck injury.

What a champ.

So I was on here earlier about to post this. then i was like. Oh crap, I should ccheck to make sure I don't double post.... So I looked through the title, read a title of Brandon Graham/Eagles/training camp. Something with two of the three, so I didn't..... but you win good sir, you win.

Im not suprised, Brandon is a student of the game. What suprised me was on draft night, that he was not selected higher. Im guessing some GM's around the league are now kicking themselves in the arse.

Yeah, ask all of the tackles from UM's 2009 schedule. Color them not surprised.
Winston has been reportedly able to use his stomach as a shank in prison after Graham carved a hole in it.

Apparently it's gotten to the point that Winston and King Dunlap are starting to ask Graham for tips on how to go against shorter DE's.
