BRANDON GRAHAM

AN AMAZING 20-HOUR CAREER

Brandon Graham was an Eagle for 15 seasons and played in more games (218) than any other player in the team's 90+ year history. He is easily one of the most accomplished and beloved Eagles ever.

​

And now he's back.

​

But think about this - on average, there is only about 11 minutes of play action time in a 60-minute football game, which means an offensive or defensive player sees only about 5.5 minutes of action in a game.

​

Do the math.  218 games x 5.5 minutes = 1,199 minutes = 19.98 hours.

​

Brandon Graham's long, illustrious career has lasted only about 20 hours!

​

To be fair, there is much more to football than what happens between the snap and the whistle.  Credit BG for countless hours spent working out, practicing, inspiring his teammates on and off the field and in the locker room, and spending time in the community.

And yes, credit BG for having survived 20 hours of brutal combat during games, when it counts. It is a rare NFL player indeed who can last anywhere close to that.
