OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
When Brandon Graham was sidelined with a triceps injury against the Los Angeles Rams in late 2024, many thought his impact on the game would be limited. They couldn’t have been more wrong.
While sitting on the bench, Graham noticed rookie Jalyx Hunt struggling to read the Rams’ complex blocking schemes. Instead of focusing on his own injury, Graham leaned in. Quietly, with no cameras rolling and no reporters hovering nearby, he began coaching Hunt — pointing out tells in the Rams’ offensive line and explaining how to adjust his stance for a better attack angle.
Minutes later, Jalyx Hunt exploded off the edge and recorded a crucial sack, swinging momentum back to the Eagles. A post-game tweet from @EaglesInsider hinted at the unseen mentorship that led to the play, but the moment itself went largely unnoticed by the wider media.
Those close to the team know: this is classic Brandon Graham. Always the mentor, always lifting up the next generation even when no one’s watching.
Graham’s greatest contributions to the Eagles have never been just the sacks or the speeches. It’s moments like this — quiet, selfless leadership — that define his legacy. And thanks to him, the Eagles’ future just got a little bit brighter.
