Although not too long after his announcement, the Eagles congratulated Graham on his retirement and blessed him with a social media post.
“It's one of the best things to wear midnight green,” writes Eagles. “Thank you for 15 seasons and 15 seasons for Brando Glaham.”

However, Graham not only retired, but went out in full style.
He went around the room and patted all the reporters, just like he did after rookie camp practice 15 years ago.

It's really one of the coolest retirement stories I've ever written… Graham wouldn't have been able to do all this well.
