BG getting lots of love in Philly (Fox) press.
"Graham is bigger than expected (278 lbs) and is as advertised. He’s a relentless player with very strong hands. His ability to keep his pad level low makes it very difficult for taller offensive tackles who can’t move quickly enough and to get their hands on him."

Maybe I will have to buy a BG jersey even if it is the Eagles.

I thought your title said "BP" and was utterly confused...

they had a lot of love for former Lion Ernie Sims, too...

Rod Marinelli has got to be wringing his hands over this somewhere.
who could NOT love BG? I'll be surprised if he doesn't make a huge impact in the NFL.

I know your comment was more for us (we all love BG), but Eagles fans are really nervous about BG's size based on history (hence the, "bigger than expected" at 278 lbs comment in the OP, which they'll see as a positive).
I've kept tabs, and they (specifically, commenters) keep worrying he will be Jerome McDougle, who was a similar sized 1st rd pick about ~7 years ago from Miami. He flamed out, as did Mike Mamula (similar situation, from BC, a famous combine warrior), so BG has a lot of Eagle specific history to overcome. I'm sure he will, b/c he's awesome, but for his sake, I hope he gets off to a good start, otherwise they'll be all over him.

Ware is like the original Ipod. BG is the smaller, more compact, and more powerful version.
