Philadelphia chose Graham with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2010 draft out of Michigan. He’s been a mainstay on the Eagles’ roster since then.

The veteran player has earned one Pro Bowl appearance over the last 14 seasons. He has 467 tackles and 73 sacks in that span. He may have only started three games since the start of the 2021 season, but his veteran presence is what keeps him on the Eagles roster.

Philadelphia added Bryce Huff and Devin White to its linebacking corps in the offseason. The team also has Nakobe Dean and Josh Sweat.
