After 15 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon Graham is ready for his next chapter, and he’s starting it with a familiar face.
The recently retired defensive end made a special appearance on the latest episode of New Heights, the podcast hosted by brothers Jason and Travis Kelce.
Brandon Graham gets candid with Kelce Brothers
Graham, who played his entire career in Philadelphia, became just the second defensive player to join the show.
The conversation offered a glimpse into the bond between longtime teammates and touched on everything from Graham’s first impression of Jason Kelce to the polarizing “Tush Push” play and his plans for life after football.
With 76.5 sacks and 206 games played, Graham exits the NFL as a franchise icon, but he made it clear that his voice won’t be leaving the spotlight anytime soon.
When asked about the league’s attempts to ban the Tush Push, Graham didn’t hold back.
“I think it’s kind of… I don’t want to say soft… but it is,” he said.
“It’s big grown men up front that you gotta push and if I’m not strong enough it won’t happen but we got a stronger line and I’m sorry.”
Graham dismissed criticisms of the play as envy masked by concern.
“You got to have the personnel for it first. Then you got to work the technique and practice like we do,” he explained.
“We just got a good thing that we got going… ain’t nobody got hurt on it.”
He also recalled his early days on the team, sharing a lighthearted memory about Jason Kelce’s look when they first met.
“The hair. The long hair… he had the cape on,”Graham joked, triggering laughter from both hosts.
As for what’s next, Graham is already paving a path into media.
He revealed plans to attend the NFL’s Media and Broadcasting Workshop in Los Angeles, joining a growing list of former Eagles in the booth.
His longtime radio show on SportsRadio 94WIP has already laid the groundwork.
Outside of football and media, Graham is preparing to release a children’s book titled BG’s ABCs.
“I want to add value to the world… and the kids is where we’re at,” he said.
“I read to the kids every night anyway, so I thought this would be something that would add more value.”
