You aren't paying attention if this shocks you bud. No offense. But he has been one of the best pass rushers in the league for years now. There was a time there where he was a stud and still had that bust label. He doesn't get you double digit sacks but he's always one of the top 5 players in QB pressures and is so valuable to that Philly D. 50+ pressures 6 of his last 7 seasons IIRC.

I remember when I was in HS, Brandon Graham being the #1 recruit in the state. He's had very underrated and productive NFL career (all with one team), and I can barely make it up and down the field a couple of times in our annual turkey bowl game without pulling a hamstring. 

I look forward to watching more productive seasons from him in the future.

I worked with a former teammate of BG from Crockett. He said that Brandon was one of the chillest dudes you could meet....until game time. He had that switch to turn on when the whistle blew.

One of my all time favorite Wolverines.  Glad to see Brandon's still dominating in the pros.  

I tried to find the whole list at PFF and got this top 100 list instead: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-101-players-from-the-2019-nfl-season

Graham is #60 on that list which came out on Feb. 6th, so after the season.  Is PFF making another list that contradicts a list from the same season already?  I'm confused.  

From my count there were only two ex Wolverines in the list I linked above.  Graham at 60 and Lewan at 88.  Would like to see Bush and Winovich work themselves onto that list.  And maybe if Peppers ever gets deployed right, he can work his way on there.

I always thought Brandon was our most dominant pass rusher at UM.  I always felt bad for him.  He was so great on such a shitty team to end his career at UM.

still remember that 2009 game at iowa that i went to. we lost on a denard pick in the final minute, but graham was a beast all game and absolutely dominated iowa's LT who was a first round draft pick, iirc.

Criminally underrated. Going on a decade in the league now, Super Bowl champion. Made an All-Pro team but not a Pro Bowl, a sign of a player that gets it done but doesn't have the flash.
