Eagles DE Brandon Graham Brimming With Confidence, Eyeing Starting Job

Eagles DE Brandon Graham has come into camp brimming with confidence and looking noticeably more svelte. Now feeling 100% and coming off a great summer, Graham is surprising even himself. "Just my conditioning [surprised me]. I know I've been working hard and all that. It's just never the same when you put the pads on and you've got to run around with helmets and shoulder pads. But you know, I was in pretty good shape and if I'm able to go hard every play, it's going to be trouble." Graham, who at this point is in line to start at DE in the first preseason game, is looking at it like a second chance to make a first impression. "That's going to be the first time for me to show them what I'm going to do in the games and that's how I'm taking it. Like it's my first step to where I want to be and hopefully it goes exactly how I planned it to go, how I envisioned it to go. All I can do is work hard and that's what I'm going to do and we'll see when that day comes."
