Brandon Graham is the Philadelphia Eagles’ Walter Payton Man of the Year Award nominee for the 2022 NFL season, according to an official league announcement. The annual award is designed to recognize “outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field.”
As a player, Graham is still making valuable contributions. The 34-year-old has 5.5 sacks this season despite coming off the Achilles injury he suffered last year. Graham is four sacks behind his career high of 9.5 with five regular season games left to play. While one wouldn’t say it’s likely he finally gets to his goal of hitting double digits, it’s not impossible.
