ESPN on good guy Brandon Graham
I posted this under UM players in the Super Bowl but if you missed it, ESPN did a really nice piece on BG. Good guy doing good things. We get enough of the other kind of news unfortunately. Sorry for the potential redundancy.

A 5-star of life.

Proud to be a Michigan Wolverine.

he's a bad ass

Brandon was a bad ass at Michigan. He continued his bad-assedness in the NFL when the Eagles drafted him in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft. He will be that rare man of character who plays, and plays well, for the same team for his entire career. Philly’s blessed to have him, as were we.

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it, as I'd missed it before. Inspiring to say the least... Famous NFL player or not, we can all look for ways to make an impact in our communities the way BG has.

Davy, I think this reflects the character and helping student athletes grow into responsible adults who impact their communities. We see it today in the actions of several players - including Blake, JJ, and Moody.
Character counts and I’m glad it’s an emphasis at Michigan.
And, as an aside, I’m glad Michigan’s training facilities don’t have a kiddie slide or putt putt golf course - as certain other P5 facilities do.

Well said!
Most UM players won't make the NFL but when all are given the same chance to build character, there will be many great outcomes, even if most are outside the public eye.

It's hard to believe the amount of time that Brandon Graham has been playing in the NFL is about the same amount of time as when we won the National Championship and he was drafted.
January 31st, 2023 at 7:03 AM ^
He was a beast in his time at Michigan.
January 31st, 2023 at 7:03 AM ^
Brandon Graham, redundancy? Not today. Thanks.
January 31st, 2023 at 7:38 AM ^
Hell of a lot better than the other former Michigan Edge player on the other sideline.

It sure got dusty all of a sudden.
January 31st, 2023 at 7:53 AM ^
What a great man, someone to admire,
January 31st, 2023 at 8:54 AM ^
One of the few good players that played when DickRod was here.

Met B Graham at a BP gas station on the Eastside, he was like a freshman or soph at UM. Saw him again at Eastland Mall, this time he was with his grandmother. Upon meeting her I tried to shake her hand and she gave me a big hug instead. One of the Eastside's Finest!

Eastland Mall: RIP. My parents met there, and my Grandmother raised 12 kids on the Eastside while working in the drapery department at JCPenney at Eastland.
Eastland is definitely a “if you know you know” if you grew up on the eastside

South of 7 Mile here. Memories of family shopping at Eastland as a kid…
January 31st, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
Truly great people! Brandon Graham and his dad were so nice and would talk to anyone! Always smiling and laughing! He's no fake!
January 31st, 2023 at 8:58 AM ^
Here's to Graham having a great Super Bowl and getting another ring...
sorry Mike Danna
January 31st, 2023 at 10:08 AM ^
Awesome. Never forget his demolishing hit on the MSU running back. Woodley-esque career.
January 31st, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
great dude and one of my favorite M players of all time
January 31st, 2023 at 10:28 AM ^
Graham is one of the all time greats to have played at U of M.
I dreamt one day he would retire and come coach at U of M but now we have Elston.
January 31st, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Thanks for (re)sharing. Awesome vid.
January 31st, 2023 at 11:06 AM ^
Damn it got dusty in here.

As an Eagles fan who watch Graham basically be the only player to hold the defense at Michigan together when I was a student there, he’s one of my favorite players ever.
Not to mention he made probably the biggest play in Eagles history to seal the victory against another former Wolverine!

When reading this post I confused Graham with Frank Clark in my mind and thought, "what the hell did I miss...?"

Thanks for posting this. Awesome video.
Philly's phinest! Go Birds!
