PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Graham wore a big smile on his face throughout his first news conference, politely answered every question and then shook hands with nearly everyone in the auditorium.
Graham sure is cordial. It doesn’t mean the Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick plays soft.
“I’ll hit somebody and smile right over them and let them know I’m coming back the next play,” Graham said Friday.
The Eagles coveted Graham so much they moved up 11 spots to grab the Michigan defensive end with the 13th overall pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft. Philadelphia sent its first-round pick (24th overall) and a pair of third-round selections (Nos. 70 and 87) to Denver in the trade.
