Such a cool story right here.

“I gave everything I had in this, and I don’t have no regrets,” said Graham to the media.

Not much longer after his announcement, the Eagles issued Graham a congratulations on his retirement, doing so in a post on social media.
“One of the best to ever wear the midnight green,” wrote the Eagles. ‘Thank you for 15 incredible seasons, Brandon Graham.”

But Graham didn’t just retire, he went out in complete style.
Just like he did 15 years ago following rookie camp practices, he went around the room and dabbed up every single reporter, and it’s such a cool sight to see.
Brandon Graham dabbed up reporters before announcing his retirement, just as he often did 15 years ago after practices at Lehigh to those of us who covered his rookie camp.
