That’s a wrap for Brandon Graham.
After a memorable 15-year career in Philadelphia, the longtime Eagles defense end called it a career Tuesday after securing his second Super Bowl victory with the Birds following a win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59.
It was a storybook ending for Graham, who went out on top by returning to help in the 40-22 win over the Chiefs after sustaining what appeared to be a season-ending triceps tear against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.
But the injury couldn’t stop Graham from going on top as it was just one of many accomplishments the 2010 first-round pick out of Michigan achieved during his tenure with the Birds.

Where Graham ranks on Eagles all-time sack list
Despite getting off to a slow start to his career, Graham finished third all-time on the franchise’s all-time sack list by passing former NFL All-Pro Clyde Simmons.
Graham’s top sack season came in 2022, when he had 11 for the eventually Super Bowl runner-ups. His next highest sack total was in 2017, when he had 9.5 for the Super Bowl 52 champions.
His most famous sack? Easy, that was the strip sack against Tom Brady to help secure the Super Bowl 52 victory over the New England Patriots.
