Brandon Graham is another legend to come out of the Michigan football program. Graham is still active in the NFL today playing with the Philadelphia Eagles, the same team that drafted him. The Eagles drafted Graham back in 2010 with the 13th overall pick in the first round.

Graham played in 13 games in his rookie season and started in six of them. His numbers did not jump off the stat sheet his first year with just 13 total tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles. Graham dealt with injury in his second season leaving him to play in just three games all season.

However, when Graham came back in his third season, he recorded 38 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Graham has had a great career with the Eagles and even won a Super Bowl with them back in 2017. He also just signed a one-year deal to continue his stay with the Eagles, but retirement could be in sight.
