A superb Michigan Man

Congratulations to Brandon Graham and the Philadelphia Eagles, winners of Super Bowl LII.  Yet again a Michigan Man will make his mark in NFL history by winning the Lombardi Trophy.
Graham, a LB/DE, is a local kid from Detroit who was a force throughout his career in Ann Arbor (2006-09), amassing 56.0 TFL and 29.5 sacks.  The Eagles took him 13th overall in 2010 and he's been with them ever since.  He put up a career high 9.5 sacks over the regular season and made several key plays tonight, most notably stripping fellow former Wolverine Tom Brady for a key fumble late in the fourth quarter that all but dashed any hope New England had of coming back.
What an entertaining game that was once again a big win for Michigan fans--and players as well!:
Good point, orange-haired dude, good point.

In celebration here's all 19 of my Graham hits:

    Love that Sweet Spot signature on the card that has the actual Michigan Winged helmet!
    Go Blue!

      Thanks, John! Yeah, I was excited to pick up all three of Graham's cards (as well as Brandon Minor's) from that product, but it took me quite a while and it's still hard to find them for reasonable prices. Go Blue!

    I was pumped that 4 Mountaineers got rings! That is quite the Graham collection.
