Eagles defensive end and Super Bowl LII champion Brandon Graham joined JAKIB Sports “Sports Take” on Wednesday to talk about the upcoming season, new teammates, and the increased depth on the defense.

Starved for a difference-maker at linebacker, many Eagles fans have completely bought into the theory that the organization got a first-round talent at No. 83 overall after being told for months the reigning Butkus Award winner and national champion at Georgia was either
