Eagles’ Brandon Graham captures his emotional Super Bowl 2025 swan song
NY Post
NEW ORLEANS — Brandon Graham is living the John Elway and Michael Strahan fantasy.
Barring a change of heart, Graham played the final game of his 15-year NFL career Sunday and went out as a Super Bowl 2025 champion in the Eagles’ 40-22 victory against the Chiefs.
Unlike Elway and Strahan, who were elected to the Hall of Fame after their Broncos and Giants, respectively, won Super Bowls in their final seasons, Graham is not an all-time great NFL player.
But he is considered a franchise icon in Philadelphia, where he played in 218 regular-season and playoff games.
The last of those was Sunday, which became possible when he battled back from a torn triceps on Nov. 24 by beating all timelines for recovery to have one more special moment.
Graham dropped to his knees on the confetti-sprayed field and embraced his two kids.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
