0:55

to NFL Live. Big news yesterday with

0:57

Stefan Diggs getting traded from the bills

1:12

to the Texans. We'll spend some time on

1:14

that but also we have a special guest

1:16

today. Eagles defensive lineman Brandon Graham

1:18

is with us. We are so glad to have you.

1:20

Thanks for being here. Thank you for having me.

1:22

We're going to put you to work. A lot

1:24

of analysis coming from him throughout the show. He's

1:26

here with us for the entirety of NFL Live.

1:28

You see Damien Woody, Bill Barnwell, Adam Schefter with

1:30

us as well for the hour. We've got a

1:32

lot to get to but let's remind you just

1:34

about how great Brandon is. He's put together an

1:36

impressive career so far. Entering his 15th

1:38

NFL season all with the Eagles. His

1:40

195 games played the most

1:43

in franchise history and he's racked

1:45

up 73 sacks. Fourth most by

1:47

an Eagles player since that stat

1:49

became official in 1982.

1:51

Filling only Reggie White, Trent Cole and

1:53

Clyde Simmons. The most memorable those sacks of

1:55

course came in Super Bowl 52 against the

1:58

Patriots when Brandon stripped sack of I'm

2:00

Brady, helped the Eagles win their first

2:02

Super Bowl and franchise history. I'm bringing

2:04

birthday was yesterday. Also a happy birthday.

2:06

Thanks for fitting it with us. Oh

2:09

yeah. I appreciate y'all. I mean, you know, it's

2:11

not worked. It's fun for me. Yeah. Make sure

2:14

I have some fun on my birthday. Well,

2:16

listen, you're gonna have a whole lot of fun

2:18

here today and we're going to talk more about

2:20

the Eagles later in the show. You don't want

2:22

to miss his insight. He's got some really good

2:24

stuff. But back to the big news in the

2:26

NFL, the bills did trade Stefan Diggs to Houston.

2:28

This took the instagram, the think Buffalo and the

2:30

bills organization saying it was quote four of the

2:33

best years of my life. He also added quote

2:35

something special was built over these years with some

2:37

very special men. Sadly, good things come to an

2:39

end until we meet again. Adam, you have some

2:41

more news on digs. What more can you tell

2:43

us? Well,

2:46

Laura, as part of this

2:48

deal, Houston essentially tore up

2:50

the last three years

2:52

of Stefan Diggs contract, giving

2:54

him the ability to leave after

2:57

this season and become a free agent

2:59

to negotiate yet another long

3:01

term deal like the one he got in

3:04

Minnesota, like the one he got in

3:06

Buffalo. And now digs will be free

3:08

to leave after this season and think

3:10

about it from Houston standpoint. It got

3:13

back in addition to Stefan Diggs to

3:15

draft picks one this year, one next

3:17

year. And if he leaves this year,

3:20

now they would be in position

3:22

to get a compensatory draft picture.

3:24

They would get yet another draft

3:26

pick back. And here's the bottom

3:28

line. It puts Stefan

3:30

Diggs in position to have a great

3:32

season this year. He's incentivized to

3:34

have one of his best years to become a free

3:37

agent yet again to be the best version of

3:39

himself on and off the field.

3:41

But we knew about the trade to

3:43

get him there. Now there's another added

3:45

component to it. A rework deal for

3:47

Stefan Diggs in which both sides really

3:50

gain something here. The Texans get the

3:52

best version of digs and digs gets

3:54

the ability to become a free agent

3:56

after this season. Yeah, another layer that

3:58

the win win for both Your point out

4:01

of the would. What's your reaction to this new

4:03

that is now in one year deal with the

4:05

Texan? Yeah

4:08

Lorne like is the to put it

4:10

all together for for this I don't

4:12

know what else would other soon as

4:14

would would have you do that Islam

4:16

read opportunity would be to go to

4:18

a good one of orders a system

4:20

where we know we did thought about

4:22

this different happiness is more the Fcc

4:24

that is insane would a case that

4:26

he sees us we thought we heard

4:28

of all the noise up above moses

4:30

see a rocky relationship you seem like

4:32

the for this has or with Josh

4:34

Elena organizations so now i decided to

4:36

use he thought. He. Did opportunity

4:38

deal as boy was a when you

4:40

deal So. Does. Not look for

4:42

him to put his best foot forward. He

4:44

normally go up in every season but also

4:47

kept lives for the new contract is concerned.

4:49

During the would as we all agree

4:51

they could be Super Bowl contenders. Definitely

4:53

gonna challenge the chief in that division

4:55

right. step on Day one of several

4:57

significant additions to the second office this

4:59

off season. they also freedom for former

5:01

Bengals running back Joe Mixon, who ranked

5:03

eighth in the Nfl in rushing yards

5:05

last season before the passing game is

5:07

on deep in Houston and a pair

5:09

of pliers he had double digit sat

5:11

last season as a deal hunters and

5:13

an eco artery and linebacker As these

5:15

I'll sire who rank five and samples

5:17

and what do you think about. The

5:19

off season slander the Texans have executed as

5:21

far as like a masterclass so far. Yeah

5:26

really excited issues and everything looks great on

5:28

paper for Houston but Adams news about to

5:30

find takes has me thinking about the fifth

5:32

they are in terms of what they're going

5:35

to do on be offensive side of the

5:37

football. Last year he would most you just

5:39

had a great year if it was still

5:41

a pretty run heavy team on early downs

5:44

one six some of the pressure off a

5:46

slouch really give a play action games oh

5:48

and also has offered for sale was obviously

5:50

comes from which he could be one heavy

5:53

often but now the is a T that

5:55

has plenty of playmakers. As receivers terms

5:57

of size Del Negro College Fund

5:59

do. Buyers are

6:01

now eligible for extensive Upon Daves potential,

6:03

the contract year and up. Her Adams

6:05

News and Nico college with the audible

6:07

for an extension? So are the Texans

6:09

gonna throw the ball more and get

6:12

those guys enough targets so they can

6:14

get the contract they deserve? Next. Year

6:16

Interesting way to look at it at Bryn

6:18

in Houston. Pairing dig the Cj Stroud in

6:20

his second year. it is similar to what

6:22

your Eagles day with Zealand hurting them bringing

6:24

and white on a day Brown that veteran

6:27

presence at How do you see the addition

6:29

of digs impacting this often. You know what?

6:31

you got to a veteran, the company and so

6:33

I'm a me being a fifty years a lot

6:35

of people don't be trying to pick his brain

6:37

or Cj Stroud a home is deafening. I had

6:39

to build a kitten chemistry and you know the

6:41

other guy like me go Collins and ten deal

6:43

they gotta all be you know, willing to share

6:45

the wealth because now he's a top guy com

6:47

an ambush see the season with a let me

6:49

learn a little bit from him, let me make

6:51

sure I go in or with the right ma

6:54

said because. I think the Nicole Ryan's I

6:56

may not play with him for early three or

6:58

four year and you know I know Have Marty

7:00

is he gonna have to be ready? And I'm

7:02

not often run businesses. Dynamic of the. Be herself!

7:05

I'm so excited to see you know just

7:07

how to use how to jail together cause

7:09

s on really matter On paper they look

7:11

great but it's about the personality the who

7:13

have to sacrifice in those moments where you're

7:15

not getting the ball is most, but now

7:17

you're when. It as a team and it's

7:19

about a team at into the the yet

7:22

excellent points when you mention that and I

7:24

know we keep talking about how they look

7:26

on paper but they do have to put

7:28

it all together and they have to jail

7:30

in that locker room. Keep an eye on

7:32

how that works with go to the bill

7:34

side of things here guys. As of right

7:36

now, the Bills only have three wide receivers

7:38

on the roster who caught a pass last

7:40

season okay, Curtis Samuel Little secure and Mack

7:42

Holland. At the moment it looks like the

7:44

authors who those are running vaccine surfing, fighting

7:46

shape suffering sits in the Nfl was. From

7:48

is yours last season they say rethought

7:50

cinema excited and receiving yards is so

7:52

what do you expect? Buffalo's offers a

7:54

season was like as moving on to

7:56

step on dig. You're

8:00

gonna make the same kind of traders. The

8:02

trees mates When they moved on from a

8:04

star receiver integrity killer left the get bigger

8:06

on the opposite side of the ball. When

8:08

the Chiefs traded Perry killed to the Dolphins

8:10

were locked at a party killer places. They

8:12

went kind of with the quantity over quality.

8:15

Afraid of a say a lot more to

8:17

retire and said that. Healthier running game help

8:19

the to the for people. To play with a

8:21

one assume with I wanted to stop and I

8:23

think that often said or even without how we

8:25

hope to build last year went out and fried

8:27

or. Or. Drafted salt in Cave. In

8:29

the first round when they had some Kate

8:32

and daughter marched together say want a very

8:34

possible swell Personnel seen over been. Below is

8:36

Stephen football in front of us to Titans

8:38

the year before to being the fourth heaviest

8:41

two Titan teeth and for both those two

8:43

guys on the field. So you figure the

8:45

Bills after trading their best receiver of losing

8:47

gave these urges Davis in free agency you

8:50

go out now. Maybe we mourn those two.

8:52

Titan threat get bigger, try to make be

8:54

running game a little stronger and creepers play

8:56

action. Operative. Yeah. I.

8:59

Really do for and upper your nabeel are

9:01

are a thing that. You. Know they can

9:03

go into got the I also by an address

9:05

or may not are really do think that are

9:07

with them then go a playmaker like there but

9:09

if his toughness you said you know the season

9:11

bet that you that you have what I do

9:13

understand some of the from the we didn't know

9:15

that went on on a foul and a week

9:18

that we see you know what they haven't and

9:20

mom is where things in Gaza will help. Or

9:22

know for now that our have a lot on his

9:24

plate. And so I'm. On November fourth Quarter with

9:26

the same or with the next move the

9:28

how we're gonna feel the same or legacy

9:30

they are do see them born at the

9:32

can see the the can things down to two

9:34

Titan retired as it is, run an eyeball you

9:37

know sustain and and get the play action

9:39

going on because as out wonderfully as a

9:41

dynamic player and a he can use his

9:43

legs it you know in times of need and

9:45

yeah I'm excited. May I really do they

9:47

they they they got something that they have

9:49

to do. Ah but you may to go

9:51

forward to tidy of him and how to she's

9:53

did upcoming due to sign. Yet, it's can

9:55

be interesting to see how Josh Allen shoulders

9:58

a lot more that load is. know

10:00

he can do it. He's capable of it. He's

10:02

one of those talented quarterback in the league, but

10:04

it is a lot more. D-Wig Diggs is just

10:06

one of the players not returning to the build.

10:08

What do you think about Buffalo's decision to move

10:10

on from a bunch of veterans this off-season? Yeah,

10:16

Laura, I had talked about how this iteration of the

10:18

bills that window had closed. You know, they got rid

10:20

of a lot of, a lot of

10:22

very good veterans who, especially on the defensive

10:24

side of the football, that really

10:26

contribute to this team and it's successful for

10:28

the, for the past four years. And so

10:30

I think Buffalo, this is what happens when

10:32

you have a quarterback with, with, with the

10:34

type of contract that Josh Allen has, right?

10:36

You got to be able to, over time,

10:38

be able to draft and develop your draft

10:40

picks because that's how you keep the cost

10:42

down. That's what, that's what the Kansas City

10:44

Chiefs did and have had a lot of

10:47

success, particularly on the defensive side of the

10:49

football. I can see the Buffalo Bills trying

10:51

to emulate and do the same thing moving

10:53

forward. It's trying to really utilize the draft

10:56

to keep the cost down as they have the quarterback that's making

10:58

a lot of money. Yeah.

11:01

And I think, listen, the Buffalo Bills already were

11:03

doing a lot of work on the wide receivers

11:06

in this draft class. And if you look at

11:08

it with the money that

11:10

they take on by trading digs

11:12

right now, Dee Wood, essentially they

11:14

can't afford to go trade for

11:16

a wide receiver like T Higgins and sign

11:18

him through a long-term extension. So if they're

11:21

going to find help, it has to come

11:23

through the draft. And I think they've

11:25

done a lot of work on wide

11:27

receivers in this draft to position themselves,

11:29

to be able to take one, maybe

11:31

two. We'll see how this works out

11:33

in the coming weeks here with Buffalo,

11:35

but they are capstrapped to a certain

11:37

extent. You've got to find help somewhere.

11:39

And right now, again, during this off

11:41

season, they did sign Curtis Samuel from

11:43

Washington. They did sign Mack Collins,

11:45

the former Falcons wide receiver. They

11:47

have added some people, but it's

11:49

not as easy as just going out

11:52

and trading for another wide receiver that

11:54

you can go sign through a big

11:56

time contract. Part of the reason that they

11:58

traded digs, they're easy. They're taking the money now.

12:01

They'll free up the cap space later on, but

12:03

they're taking their medicine this season at that

12:05

position. Yeah. $31 million dead

12:07

cap. We should make bumper stickers that say cap strap. Hannah Robinson

12:09

teams. I'm sure they love that, right? All right. The

12:13

Chiefs are back to back, Super Bowl champs. three

14:23

back on NFL Live. One of the biggest

14:25

free agent signings happened when the Eagles brought

14:27

in Saquon Barkley, bringing him over from the

14:29

Giants, the team in their division, of course.

14:31

And Eagles' Dean Brandon Graham is with us

14:33

in studio today. Brandon was the first teammate

14:35

to greet Saquon on his first day of

14:37

the Eagles' facility. Take a listen. What

14:40

up, baby? Hey, what up, baby? I just wanted to

14:42

say what up. I just happened to come out and

14:44

you just on your way, man. I

14:46

wanted to give you some love. Yeah, for sure.

14:48

Man, can't wait to try to do this thing

14:51

together. Yeah. Yeah? Go enjoy yourself, man. Get

14:53

that love, baby. Yeah, I'm an issue. It

14:56

probably had to be a little weird. Like, you've been facing off

14:58

against him for all this time. You're like, all right, welcome to

15:01

the facility. But as someone who has

15:03

played against Saquon so many times, how does it

15:05

feel now to know that he's part of your

15:07

team's backfield? Well, man, I'm looking for him

15:09

to be as dynamic as he was when he

15:11

was with the Giants. And I

15:13

know that we're going to be a better team

15:15

with him, man. I'm just excited because, you know,

15:18

he's got a good personality already. I know I'm

15:20

off the field because we got mutual friends that

15:22

we, you know, co-hersed with. And so I think

15:24

that, for him, now I can talk

15:26

to someone in practice other than just in the game.

15:29

I can talk to the other team while he's on my side. We'll

15:33

look out for training camp and see if any of that happens

15:35

and we can catch any of it. Now, this

15:37

team's going to look a little different. Some big

15:39

names retiring in Jason Kelsey and Fletcher Cox. How

15:41

do you expect the locker room to be? Obviously,

15:44

you're still there and some other veterans. But what will it

15:46

be like for you guys? I think it's

15:48

some guys like Cam Jurgen, who was

15:50

at the breakfast table with Jason Kelsey every

15:53

day of this year, last year, picking

15:55

his brain. You know, I'm hoping that, you

15:57

know, Jaylen Carter and those guys like

15:59

Jordan Davis. people that was in the room

16:01

with him that you know you paid attention

16:03

to what worked for him and you know

16:05

you see similarities of what you could do

16:07

that works for you and so I just

16:09

hope that people want to hold

16:11

that torch and you know that's being passed with

16:13

them leaving and I know for me still being

16:16

here I'm gonna try to go out there and

16:18

do my best every day to instill in them

16:20

everything and I know somebody's watching me so I

16:22

know that Fletcher Cox and them they left a

16:24

they left a big mark and some big shoes

16:26

to fill but all we looking for is half

16:29

half half of what they was because you know that's

16:31

I want you to be there I want you to

16:33

be better than them but at the end of the

16:35

day you know just going and being you the best

16:37

you and do some stuff that you learn from them

16:39

that that you can apply to your game. Another

16:41

change to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio comes in

16:43

now to take over the defense what conversations

16:46

have you had with Vic about what the

16:48

defensive plan may look like? I

16:50

think you know we we haven't talked you

16:52

know X and O's just yet April 15th is

16:54

when we start but I know he's

16:56

excited my coach excited my position coach and

16:58

I know we talked a whole lot

17:01

already just about what we want to get to and

17:03

get back to as a defensive line

17:05

and as a defense and so I know Vic

17:07

is gonna be the guy for us I'm happy

17:09

that how he brought a man and we and

17:11

you know it's just about like what I said

17:13

it's about that that chemistry that you

17:15

got to have that you got to build the people

17:17

got to believe in Fangio's dream you know when he

17:20

comes in so I mean I'm gonna be the one

17:22

to echo the call but I know for me this

17:24

is my last year I'm believing in whatever it is

17:26

because that's all I got is my last year so

17:28

hopefully what people seeing me believing in that to

17:31

give them that motivation to just do it one day at

17:33

a time. You set that tone and I don't

17:35

know how anyone couldn't follow it the way that you

17:37

lead I think Adam has the next question here I'm

17:40

gonna pass it over to you Adam. Well

17:43

Laura thank you very much Brandon welcome to

17:45

Bristol Connecticut and ESPN headquarters great to

17:47

have you in studio and I wanted

17:49

to ask you about the news that

17:52

your left tackle Jordan Milata this afternoon

17:54

signed a three-year 66 million

17:57

dollar extension tying him to

17:59

Philadelphia the 2028 season. Obviously $48

18:01

million in guaranteed money, $20 million starting

18:03

mortgage. Curious

18:08

for your assessment of Jordan

18:10

Milata, his play now and

18:12

his ability to stay in

18:14

Philadelphia long term. Hey, you watch

18:16

the film, you see, we gotta

18:18

keep certain guys and that boy Jordan Milata,

18:20

I'm so happy for him and his family.

18:23

Great dude, somebody who's gonna be on

18:25

tour when he's done singing and doing all kinds

18:27

of stuff when he's done. But I know for

18:29

him, I'm so happy to

18:32

have him locked up. Howie is the Wiz,

18:34

as you know, and man, I'm just, I'm

18:36

just waiting, waiting to see, you know, when

18:38

he taking me to dinner, because he definitely

18:40

gonna owe me one when I get back.

18:43

What kind of meal would you two eat?

18:46

You know, it'd be, it'd be disgusting on

18:48

so much, so many levels of how big

18:50

that table will be. Because Jordan definitely eat

18:52

a lot and I'm a big foodie myself,

18:54

but we gotta watch our weight because we

18:57

trying to get to the championship this year. You know, earlier I

18:59

was asking if you'd been to the ESPN cafeteria,

19:01

you said it was like your fitness, your cut

19:03

down season. Did you get something though from the

19:05

caf? Oh, I definitely did. You know, I

19:07

went a grilled chicken pita. Oh,

19:10

I did something different. You know, I'm always looking

19:12

for something new to try at the caf. So

19:14

tomorrow I'm gonna, I'm gonna do your order. All

19:16

right, let's do a little bit around the draft.

19:19

You guys, ESPN draft analyst Phil Yates put out

19:21

his two round mock draft on espn.com yesterday. Let's

19:23

read and react to who he has to going

19:25

to some of the other teams in the NFC

19:28

East. We'll start in Washington. Phil has the commander

19:30

selecting quarterback Jaden Daniels from LSU. Adam, what you

19:32

hearing about Washington's plan with that number two pick?

19:36

Well, again, everybody expects that they're going to

19:39

be focused in on a quarterback and everybody

19:41

expects that Caleb Williams is going to be

19:43

the number one overall pick, which would mean

19:45

Jaden Daniels, Drake May sitting there at number

19:48

two and Drake Jaden Daniels has generated a

19:50

lot of buzz, a lot of attention. People

19:52

love his ability. There have been people like Dan

19:54

Olasky, I believe he said he could be the

19:56

top quarterback in this draft. So I think

19:59

Jaden Daniels right. now his favorite to

20:01

be the number two overall pick in this

20:03

upcoming draft. What's good in New York where

20:05

Field has the Giants drafting LSU wide receiver

20:07

Malik neighbors. Their quarterback Daniel Jones coming off

20:10

a knee injury of course. Bill, you agree

20:12

with Field or should they be looking to

20:14

try to get a quarterback there? Ideally,

20:18

I believe they should go out and try and

20:20

do both. Draft a receiver with that pick in

20:23

the first round, whether it be Malik neighbors, whether

20:25

it be what would Dunes say. But then look

20:27

at what we tennis seeded last year in the

20:29

second round where they traded up early on day

20:31

two to go up and get well left. Maybe

20:33

that can be a spot where the Giants trade up to

20:36

get someone like Michael Anik. But hey, if they

20:38

take room with Dunes day early instead

20:40

of Malik neighbors, maybe they match up

20:42

those two Washington stars, the Dunes they

20:44

got receiver and Anik the quarterback for

20:46

the 2025 roster. Daniel

20:49

Jones only has 11 million guaranteed next year

20:51

on his field. So could be a future

20:53

for the Giants at wide receiver and maybe

20:55

a future quarterback if they play their card.

20:58

Let's go to Dallas where Field has the

21:00

Cowboys trading back and taking offensive tackle Jordan

21:02

Morgan out of Arizona. See, would you like

21:04

to have one going? Oh, Lineman in the

21:06

first round. Laura,

21:10

I do because so for so many years,

21:12

identity of the Cowboys have been there all

21:14

for the line. But we've seen, you know,

21:17

over the past years how this unit is

21:19

kind of been faltering some and obviously, Colorado

21:21

Smith outstanding left tackle has left the creation

21:23

time with the New York Jets. They need

21:26

to reestablish the line of scrimmage up front

21:28

with the Dallas Cowboys and keep infusing some

21:30

youth there. So I like this move of

21:32

addressing all the line in the first round.

21:35

I bet that would like it to let's

21:37

go outside the NFC East. Bill has the

21:39

Vikings trading up to take Michigan quarterback JJ

21:41

McCarthy at five. Brandon, you're a Michigan man.

21:43

How do you think McCarthy will do at

21:45

the next level? I think he would do great.

21:47

I mean, he showed with his arm already whether it

21:49

could do and Michigan. They're gonna run

21:52

the ball. I mean, you know that about him

21:54

when it's a game. They only they ran the

21:56

ball most of the game. And so I know

21:58

for JJ, he's gonna get it. to

22:00

show off his arm strength, work with

22:02

some great people in the NFL, and

22:04

you know, it's not about going to school no more.

22:06

This is your job now. So I'm excited

22:08

to see like how they take him to the next level.

22:11

Yeah, Brandon, I like that. You took some of the criticism that

22:13

you probably heard and you said, mm-mm, I'm gonna tell you why.

22:15

That's not even... We

22:17

love J.D. McCarthy here on NFL Live. We got more

22:19

coming your way here on the show. Brandon has over 70

22:22

sacks in his career, but which one's

22:24

mean just a little bit more than

22:26

others? We're gonna ask him his favorite

22:28

QBs to take down. Don't miss the

22:30

answer to this. NFL Live on ESPN

22:32

continues next. Be right back. Now,

22:39

let's talk about the play of the week.

22:41

The pressure to follow up Hypnotic and Cognac

22:43

weighing heavy on the team. Hypnotic

22:45

was in the cup, blue and ready for

22:47

the play. And boom! On

22:49

Yeo Tequila came in with a

22:52

smooth assist to Hypnotic's tropical fruit

22:54

fish. Take it, strain,

22:56

pour. It was green and

22:59

fun! The playmaking

23:01

flash shifted the

23:03

tempo. Another great cocktail from the

23:05

Hypnotic team. Every season is Hypnotic

23:08

and Tequila season. Hypnotic Liqueur, Bardstown,

23:10

Kentucky, 17% alcohol by volume.

23:12

Hypnotic reminds you to think wisely, drink wisely. Picture

24:28

24:33

if you think trash talking is a new thing

24:35

check out this tweet Brandon sent out a week

24:37

before his first career NSL game against the package

24:39

he said it's time to get ready for them

24:42

green boys this week I can't wait to whisper

24:44

something in Aaron Rodgers here How'd

24:48

I go for you? Oh, that was a

24:50

that was the first time I was up in

24:52

24:54

up like come on man can't give out bulletin

24:56

board material and I'm like hey coach my bad

24:58

That's my fault. So we gotta go win this

25:00

game. That's what that's definitely what what he was

25:02

saying to me now that you did This is

25:04

gotta go win this game Hey,

25:07

you are an elite trash talker though. That was

25:09

funny. You were talking trash to say Quan now

25:11

He's your teammate. Alright, since we have you here

25:13

in person, we figure we do a little bit

25:15

more trash talking Why not? Okay, who are your

25:17

favorite quarterbacks to sack in the league Brandon will

25:19

go with your top three So take it away.

25:22

So I start with number three Eli. I'm gonna go

25:24

with Eli Manning for the post and Yeah,

25:27

we definitely had some great battles, but

25:30

we last is one of those guys I mean,

25:32

of course, I gotta go with in a C

25:34

and the Giants in and man It

25:37

just is just something about nothing those top

25:39

quarterback side That's that's going on right now like

25:41

in my homes or you got a doctor Allen

25:43

and those guys and you know Dale hurts, of

25:45

course he on my team, but you know guys

25:47

want to tackle So

25:50

the next I would say that's all

25:52

the Cowboys quarterback Man

25:57

look at that now that was

26:00

up coming right there that's late in the game right there. This

26:03

man. What do you think about when you're taking these

26:05

guys down? You know what? Do

26:07

you black out and think about what you're doing? You're trying

26:09

to get the strips out. Yeah, I mean you're trying to play

26:12

the game. Yeah. In the moment

26:14

you just want to be the guy to show up,

26:16

you know, in the moment where everybody looking for you

26:18

to show up and, you know,

26:20

obviously the last but not least Tom

26:22

Brady. I got to go with the

26:24

goat of all goats that we all

26:26

grew up watching. To be able to

26:28

make this play right here. I mean,

26:30

it was it was nothing but the

26:32

guy right there, you know, showing up

26:34

for me in all the moments of

26:36

never getting to the championship and finally

26:38

getting there in the Super Bowl, the

26:40

ultimate place in second. One of the goals

26:42

that I just seen do with the year

26:45

before this Atlanta Falcons and boy, oh,

26:47

I was so happy to be able to do that. So

26:50

happy to be able to do that. It's so cool to

26:52

be able to watch those moments. And of course, when you

26:54

won that Super Bowl with the Eagles, Doug Peterson was your

26:56

coach. I'm sure he had some good things to say to

26:58

you after that whole thing happened. But

27:01

he's not with the Jags as their head

27:03

coach. We want to get your take on

27:05

a few things. Doug Peterson and Jaguars related

27:07

last season didn't necessarily go the way they

27:09

wanted to do, but it's been a successful

27:11

two year run for Peterson and the Jaguars.

27:13

He took over in 2022 a

27:15

year after the Jags went three and 14 with Urban Meyer

27:17

at the health of most of the season. And

27:20

Peterson led the Jags to the playoffs in his

27:22

first season and was in a position to

27:24

do so again last year when Jacksonville got

27:26

off to an eight and three start, lost

27:28

five to last six games, missing the playoffs

27:30

as a result. Certainly a lot of that

27:32

had to do with injuries and some of

27:34

the things that were going on with the

27:36

Jags. So Brandon, when you think about what

27:38

Doug Peterson is, what makes you such a

27:41

good and successful head coach leader? I

27:43

think it's his personality, his personality, the

27:45

being a player coach in this league. You got

27:47

to be, you got to be able to give

27:49

and take, you know, you

27:51

can't just demand all the power and I think that

27:54

people is not going to want to, you know, hear,

27:56

you got to voice it. I mean, it's opinions that's

27:58

out there and now they're getting paid. a little

28:00

more than some of these coaches. And I

28:02

think Doug, he came up under coach

28:05

Reed. I mean, he's a player's

28:07

coach. I mean, he has a, he's a

28:09

great person and, you know, he's somebody that

28:11

knows his thing, knows his stuff. And so,

28:13

it's all about the message that you, that you gotta,

28:16

that you gotta give to the guys that they, you

28:18

know, believe and want to work for you one day

28:20

at a time. And I think Doug does a great

28:22

job of, you know, bringing people together. Yeah.

28:24

That collaboration that you see it and it's

28:27

already been infused into this JAGs team, but

28:29

they mean they want to do more, right?

28:31

Okay. So what needs to change this season

28:33

for Jacksonville to get back in the playoffs?

28:39

Yeah. Listen, obviously they acquired Gabe

28:41

Davidson in free ABC. Listen,

28:44

ETN, Travis ETN, that to me, that's a

28:46

playmaker. I find more ways to feature Travis

28:49

ETN. Obviously Evan Ingram at a tight end

28:51

position is a guy, but I, you know,

28:53

I look at Trevor Lawrence. It's time for

28:55

Trevor Lawrence. We've been talking about Trevor Lawrence

28:57

coming out of college has been the one,

28:59

you know, that, that generational guy. I needed

29:01

him to step up in those crucial moments

29:03

and games where you see some of the,

29:05

some of our, you know, biggest stars at

29:07

the quarterback position. I need him to step

29:10

up in those, in those first time moments

29:12

and really execute at a high level. I

29:14

know last year he was dealing with a

29:16

lower, lower leg injury that really hampered, you

29:18

know, his play and then outside a real

29:20

effect on the Jacksonville JAG wall, particularly in

29:22

the second half of the season. But I

29:24

just need to see that efficiency and him

29:26

executing in those critical moments in the games.

29:29

Cause I did, we just didn't see that

29:31

last year. Yeah.

29:34

We saw that in the playoff game a couple

29:36

of years ago. He was great in the comeback

29:38

against the Chargers, but inconsistent last year. And one

29:41

of the reasons why his receivers do not catch

29:43

the ball at a high rate. Trevor

29:45

Lawrence is right. And high times over

29:47

the past two years have the highest

29:49

drop rate of any quarterback in the

29:51

national football league. That is a, not

29:54

a coaching thing. They changed coaches at

29:56

receiver in between 22 and 23. They

30:00

added Calvert Ridley last year, obviously. Some of the

30:02

personnel just have to be better at catching the

30:04

football. Even if they just stay in bounds more

30:06

often, they would have beat the Chiefs last year

30:08

if they'd gotten their feet in bounds more often

30:11

in the end zone. So they have

30:13

Tom on that receiver, but Gabe Davis, the guy

30:15

they added this year's free agency has one of

30:17

the highest drop rates in football. They have to

30:19

be better at receiver when it comes to catching

30:22

the football. Yeah. The Jags

30:24

dropped 31 passes last season, forced most in

30:26

the NFL. I don't know if that was

30:28

a dog or what, but I agree. All right.

30:30

Time now for some top stories. Adam is back

30:32

with us. Let's start with some new information

30:34

on the Stephon Digs trade. Go ahead, Adam.

30:38

Well, or the trade became official

30:41

this afternoon. Stephon Digs signed

30:43

a new reworked deal in

30:45

Houston that essentially voids the

30:47

last three years. The contract

30:49

moved up three and a half million dollars of

30:51

guaranteed money from next year

30:53

into this year and gives Digs

30:55

the ability to become a free

30:58

agent after the season. So Houston

31:00

is going to get the best version

31:02

of Stephon Digs this upcoming season. He's

31:04

got incentive to get a big time contract. Caleb

31:06

Williams is in Chicago yesterday. He's continuing a vision with the Bears.

31:08

They had dinner on Tuesday night together. When the Bears were in

31:10

Los Angeles for his private workout, they spent three days with Caleb

31:18

Williams and all signs at this point

31:20

in time, point to the Bears taking

31:22

Caleb Williams with the number one

31:25

overall pick. You see him hugging

31:27

the general manager, Ryan Poults there.

31:29

And again, barring something unforeseen, unexpected,

31:32

he is going to become the number one pick and

31:34

the new face of the Chicago Bears

31:36

franchise. It's been fun to see

31:38

all that happen. And really, it seems like the

31:41

draft starts at that second pick with the commanders.

31:43

Still to come here on NFL Live, we just

31:45

saw how dominant Brandon Graham has been on the

31:47

field with all those sacks throughout his career. But

31:49

here's why it's the things he's done off the

31:51

field. It'll be his legacy. Everyone

31:54

in this room has been impacted by

31:56

your generosity, your inspirational nature,

31:58

and the pure joy of the you

32:00

exude in life. Tax

32:10

Act knows you don't look forward to taxes.

32:13

Tax Act doesn't even look forward to

32:15

taxes and Tax Act is a tax

32:17

software company. It's basically Tax Act's whole

32:19

thing. If Tax Act did

32:21

things over, maybe Tax Act would end up

32:23

teaching kindergarten or leading fly-fishing tours. But that's

32:26

a different story for a different ad. So

32:29

why don't we just agree that taxes aren't

32:31

fun, but you still have to do them?

32:33

Tax Act's filing software can help you do that.

32:35

Tax Act, let's get them

32:38

over with. Here's

32:43

a week 2 UFL schedule. Saturday the Brahmas

32:45

square off against the showboats at noon eastern

32:47

on ESPN and at 8 on

32:49

ABC. The Renegades taking on the Battle Hawks.

32:51

Then Sunday, the Stallions and Panthers kick off

32:54

at noon eastern on ESPN with the Roughnecks

32:56

and DC Defenders at

32:58

4 on Fox. The ESPN ABC

33:00

games can also be seen on

33:02

ESPN+. We're glad you're

33:04

with us on NFL Live today and we're thrilled

33:06

to have Eagles D.N. Brandon Graham joining us in

33:08

studio as you've seen. When you think about Brandon,

33:11

you probably imagine all those sacks he has. We

33:14

showed some of them earlier and his big

33:16

personality on the field. But if you dig

33:18

just a little deeper, you'll find the real

33:20

story about Brandon Graham is the time he

33:22

spends to help others off the field. As

33:28

captain of the Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon

33:32

Graham rips the football out of

33:34

the hands of Tom Brady, boy

33:36

oh boy. He chases

33:38

the glory. But

33:41

also finds time to search for

33:43

something bigger. You

33:46

got a present for you. Are you serious?

33:48

Yes. I don't

33:50

know if you realize how special you made me feel

33:52

that day. In my fight to walk

33:55

again, you've brightened up a very dark time in our

33:57

life. I remember wanting to be just like you. Your

34:00

video got this boy out

34:02

of bed when no one else could. Sometimes

34:05

it might be five minutes, sometimes an hour.

34:08

With somebody that really need it, I'm

34:11

gonna take that chance every time. How

34:17

would you describe your personality? They called

34:19

me Joly the other day, and it's

34:21

funny because, man, I'm just joyful, man.

34:23

Just always hopeful. Hey, we playing ball.

34:25

We just having fun. Brandon

34:30

Graham has been with the Eagles since 2010, finding

34:35

a home among the people of

34:37

Philadelphia. When I got

34:39

to the NFL, that's when I started really figuring

34:41

out who I was and helping people is one

34:43

thing that kind of comes naturally. On

34:47

November 22nd, Graham walked into what

34:50

he'd been told was just a regular

34:52

press conference, but

34:54

wasn't about football at all. Everyone

34:58

in this room has been impacted

35:00

by your generosity, your

35:02

inspirational nature, and the pure joy

35:04

you exude in life. Matt

35:12

Helm was paralyzed in a kayaking accident

35:14

in September of 2014, one

35:19

month after his son was born. In

35:22

my fight to walk again, we were able to train

35:25

it. It seemed silly you were in. Didn't

35:29

want to bother him because he was putting in his work

35:31

in the off season. He ended up coming up

35:33

to me and introducing himself to me.

35:36

I always try to get him to pick me up because,

35:38

I mean, it got me going. Like, what am

35:40

I complaining about? I

35:43

think BG shined a little bit of light

35:45

on some dark times for my family. At

35:50

this nice jersey for you, man, to rock

35:52

on game days, and I got

35:54

you. Man, thank you. Next

35:58

was 12-year-old Chase Merriweather. who

36:01

lost his limbs at three after

36:03

an aggressive form of the flu sent his

36:05

body into septic shock. Can

36:08

I get some love? Can I get some love? He

36:11

met Graham in 2016. The

36:14

first time I saw you, I was like, man, I

36:16

want to play football and do the exact same thing.

36:19

He was like, hey, is your

36:21

name Chase? I've been looking for a

36:23

kid named him around here. We

36:26

had a kid who was still kind

36:28

of not sure whether or

36:30

not he can be open, whether or not

36:32

he would be fully accepted. He

36:40

went over and gave him a big bear hug, which

36:42

to me, it sticks in my mind forever. It

36:45

made me feel amazing about myself. Like,

36:49

somebody looking for me, I thought nobody

36:51

would ever want to look for me. Because

36:53

I'm a kid with no hands or legs. Keep

36:56

that chip on your shoulder. Say nobody's stopping you, man.

36:58

You are ready to shoulder it, aren't we? Get

37:00

up there, go Chase, go Chase! First year

37:03

playing football, I get my first tackle. I

37:05

remember wanting to be just like you on that

37:07

day. Chase, you cold.

37:12

Finally, there was Joe Idol. My

37:15

son Joe, also known as DJ

37:17

Dog. A

37:20

passionate fan who endured two organ

37:22

transplants, he found in Graham

37:25

both motivation and friendship.

37:29

Getting through that transplant was not easy.

37:31

It takes a lot of courage and

37:33

determination, and it also takes a lot

37:35

of perseverance. And during

37:37

that time, there were moments.

37:42

He was on oxygen at the time. We'd

37:45

walk around the neighborhood. And when we first started,

37:47

he could barely get from our door out to

37:49

the sidewalk. Good

37:52

job. You're on your own. Here

37:54

we go. So proud. Look

37:57

at that Joe. There was one day that we were

37:59

able to get through that. out, he sat down on a

38:01

wall at a neighbor's house and said,

38:03

that's it. I'm not going any further. And I pulled out

38:05

the video. What's up, Joe? AKA

38:09

DJ dog. How you

38:11

doing, man? I heard you've been having a rough time

38:13

right now, man. And I just want to encourage you

38:15

to let you know that it's going to get better.

38:17

You got to make sure you go on your daily

38:19

walks and making sure that you're getting ready for this

38:22

heart that you're about to get, man. Joe

38:24

just lit up. He watched the whole

38:26

video and he stood up and he turned around

38:29

and he went the other way. He

38:31

was Joe's hero and Joe believed him

38:34

when he wasn't believing us. The

38:37

impact on Joe's recovery is immeasurable. Our

38:43

family and our entire

38:45

community is eternally

38:47

grateful for what you did. You

38:50

are a big man with a big heart and

38:53

we love you. Let's go. Graham

38:57

is my little brother. I

39:00

am big brother here. For

39:02

real. That's what pushes

39:04

Graham to do what he does. To

39:09

spend his time with the people who need him.

39:15

That day when you walked into that press conference room

39:17

and you looked out at all those people that you

39:19

had been a part of their life, what

39:21

went through your mind? Wow. Man,

39:24

all this for me. But on the inside I

39:26

was, I was like, wow, I was

39:28

smiling. Man, my heart was smiling that day. Just

39:30

seeing all them people in there, having

39:32

that little press conference for me. You

39:35

just never know what it does to other

39:37

people, man. It might seem small and minute,

39:39

you know, to me right now, but you

39:41

just know like, Oh, you is spreading love.

39:47

Brandon, those small actions that you have

39:50

made for people have meant so much

39:52

and you see it in their faces

39:54

and their smiles. Where does

39:56

your passion for helping others come from? Uh, I

39:59

got to give it credit. to my mom. I

40:01

mean, seeing her struggle and just knowing that

40:03

I was like, man, one day I'm gonna make it to

40:05

the NFL because I want to, you know, be able to

40:07

provide for my mom or my family and, you know, it's

40:09

like they gave me the extra boost. But then,

40:12

you know, as I go through life and, you

40:14

know, I complain a little bit, like, why are

40:16

you complaining? If I want to hear that, I watch the news,

40:18

you know, I want to hear all the negative. She was like,

40:20

try to do the easy, try

40:23

to go away from doing the easy wrong thing to

40:25

do and do the hard right thing. And that's be

40:27

positive and try to find the positive in every situation.

40:29

And so that's where I try to, that's where I

40:31

get most of this from. But she didn't want to

40:33

hear me complaining. And at the end of the day,

40:36

I know that about myself. I complain, but I'm going

40:38

to do it anyway. I'm just having fun. But

40:40

I'm not as much of a complainer as

40:42

I used to be. But I know for

40:45

sure that we all got a duty to

40:47

be able to serve and spread love because

40:49

everybody needed, we all needed. I'm sure you

40:51

needed at times where you got your

40:53

people that you talk to that you don't, that

40:55

they don't even know you, you inspire by them

40:57

because of what they do. Even people that you

40:59

meet, people that I met today, it's like, man,

41:01

I want to be where you, I see, I

41:04

see how you, how you go about your business

41:06

and stuff like that. So I try to be

41:08

that light for the guys in the locker room.

41:10

I feel like that's why the Eagles kept me

41:12

this long. But I got to give credit to

41:14

my mom, my dad too. I mean, my dad

41:16

wasn't in the household, but he is, he made,

41:18

they made me together. And so I know for

41:21

sure I can go to both of

41:23

them for everything. And, you

41:25

know, and my wife, of course, is number one right now

41:28

because, you know, my family, but

41:30

my mom definitely started that trend for me.

41:32

You make your family so proud. I know. And

41:34

it is cool because you can see

41:37

that the people who you've helped have

41:39

actually made a bigger impact on you even than

41:41

you've made on them. And you've made a huge

41:43

impact on them. So credit to you for all

41:45

that work that you've done. Please put down more

41:47

football to talk here on NFL live. Okay. We're

41:49

coming up. We're going to talk about the Chiefs.

41:51

They went back to back Super Bowls. They're looking

41:53

to become the first team to three feet in

41:56

NFL history. Brandon's giving them a thumbs down over

41:58

here. Y'all didn't see that on camera. Listen,

42:00

I love it. You're competitive. We've still got

42:02

the Eagles guy in the house. More on

42:04

the team, but who can be closest to

42:06

taking down K.C. next? This

42:15

year's NFL Draft is in Detroit, April 24th,

42:17

26th, and 27th. We'll have

42:19

every pick once again on ESPN, along

42:21

with our usual expert analysis. It's also

42:23

available on the NFL Network. And as

42:25

always, ABC's coverage focuses on the prospects

42:27

journey to the draft. NFL

42:29

Live will be there if we can't wait for

42:32

it to be draft time. Brandon Graham joining us

42:34

here on NFL Live today. He had some legendary

42:36

coaches during his career with the Eagles. One

42:39

of them, now the Chief Head Coach, Andy Reid. And

42:41

this moment after the Eagles lost to Reid in Kansas

42:43

City in the Super Bowl shows the respect

42:46

these two have for each other. You

42:49

gotta show respect. I

42:52

had to come get you. I love you. I love you

42:54

too, man. Oh, yeah. Good job, man.

42:56

Great job, baby. I had to come give you some

42:58

love, man. You might be the best Super Bowl ever.

43:00

He deserved that right there. I appreciate it. He

43:03

deserved that, coach. I appreciate it. Yes, sir. All the coaches

43:05

you've missed you, baby. That

43:08

was cool. Andy Reid drafted you. What was it

43:10

like playing for him in your career? I

43:12

gotta give much respect to Coach Reid. You

43:14

know, he drafted me. He believed in me.

43:18

And to see what he went through in Philly and

43:20

now see him for championships, you know,

43:22

not with Philly, but just to see him

43:24

finally get to that point, you know, got

43:26

his quarterback. I just

43:28

wanted to give him all the credit because that's why

43:30

I had to go find him. And that moment right

43:32

there, it was so hard. I wanted to run in

43:34

that, oh, the confetti coming. Just, oh,

43:37

get out of my face. But I'm like,

43:39

first person I thought about was Coach Reid because

43:41

he deserved that. And I know that, you know,

43:43

it meant a lot, you

43:45

know, to him that I came up to him, man,

43:47

you know, because, man, it was so cool when he

43:49

drafted me. I can hear his voice

43:51

in my ear, you know, when I first got that

43:54

call after I talked to Howie and, you know,

43:56

legendary. So I'm glad I was able to

43:58

spend three years with him. Yeah, the

44:00

relationships in the NFL are so special. This

44:02

might be a little hard for you too. We're

44:04

going to talk about the Chiefs. I'm sorry about

44:07

this. Read in the Chiefs with a ninth team

44:09

to repeat a Super Bowl champion. And this season,

44:11

they'll take to do something that's never been done

44:13

before. Win three straight Super Bowls. In fact, the

44:15

previous 18 to repeat a Super Bowl champ, none

44:18

of them even reached the Super Bowl in the

44:20

following season. Bill, which ASC team is the biggest

44:22

obstacle in the way of the Chiefs, trying to

44:24

get back to the Super Bowl next season? I'm

44:29

going to rely on history and say the

44:31

Cincinnati Bengals, a team that beat the Chiefs

44:33

three times, including in Arrowhead during the postseason

44:35

to make it to the Super Bowl. I

44:38

know we're not talking about them right now

44:40

because last year was kind of a lost

44:42

year with the Burrow injuries. They have a

44:44

great formula for matching up with the Chiefs.

44:46

They're very unpredictable on defense. Love

44:48

what they did this offseason as well. Really

44:50

got back to spending on safety. Bring back

44:53

Bon Bell, who they really missed. Signed, you

44:55

know, certain way from the Ravens. They weren't

44:57

able to be as creative on defense as

44:59

they had been in years past because they lost their

45:01

safeties last year at free agency. They're like going out

45:03

and getting help at safety, bringing them to show the

45:06

rankings up front. They're going to be a much tougher

45:08

defense this year, and they got Joe Burrow back as

45:10

well. What about you, Brandon? I

45:12

think the Ravens, because, you know, I think Harbaugh is

45:14

a great coach. I think he's going to have them

45:17

well coached this year. They

45:19

got a lot of guys coming back, and then,

45:21

you know, this year's draft, you always

45:23

got to know that they've been doing really good with

45:26

drafting guys and, you know, picking guys up.

45:28

And so I'm going to have to go

45:30

with the Ravens because Lamar Jackson and them,

45:32

they are feeling it. I know that feeling

45:35

of how teams was mad at us, like

45:37

Sam Pharen this year. They came back with

45:39

a vengeance this year when they played us,

45:41

and so I just got to give it

45:43

to, you know, Lamar and those

45:45

guys. I know they're still stinging or they're still

45:47

stung, you know, from that game that they, you

45:50

know, lost to the Chiefs, and it was great.

45:52

It was great. Yeah,

45:57

listen, I think the usual suspects, the Baltimore Ravens, they're still

45:59

playing. raves, I think with their, they still have

46:01

a DNA that they're going to always be in

46:03

the mix. Obviously the Houston, Texas, with all the

46:05

moves that they made, and we see the progress

46:07

that they made, I'm throwing into the jets as

46:09

well. If they can, if, if, if all those

46:11

guys can stay healthy, but listen, Laura, at the

46:13

end of the day, if you come at the

46:15

King, you better not miss with the Kansas city

46:18

chiefs. All right. We can talk about all these

46:20

other teams in the ads, but the King, but,

46:22

but the chief sit up, sit atop the perch.

46:24

As long as they got Andy Reed and patch mohms,

46:27

hard to beat. You gotta come to throw them, baby. Yeah.

46:29

All right. So let's, let's go to the NFC

46:32

real quick here, Brandon. What about the Eagles? Y'all

46:34

get back to the Super Bowl? Well, you

46:36

know what? Hey, you know, I'm definitely going to

46:38

speak on us. I mean, we got Saquon, we

46:40

got a lot of guys and like I told

46:42

you, everybody has to gel together. We all gotta

46:44

be, we all gotta work. We gotta have that

46:47

great work relationship. And so I know for me,

46:49

uh, with Saquon, all offense is going to

46:51

be dynamic, uh, Vic Vanjio and I,

46:53

I, I'm so excited for

46:56

what they come. You're so humble.

46:58

You're not mentioning Brandon Graham.

47:00

They have you too. Okay.

47:09

When you're on a business trip, you know,

47:11

what goes completely off the rails, your workout

47:13

routine, especially when you book a hotel that

47:15

doesn't have a gym. So what

47:17

ends up happening is you do a few

47:20

pushups and sit ups in your room, run

47:22

around the block or just skip it entirely

47:24

lame. If you just stay at La Quinta

47:26

by Windham, you'll discover there's a fully equipped

47:29

fitness center at every location. Now you can

47:31

wake up and power your buys and tries

47:33

the right way or de-stress with some

47:35

cardio. The choice is yours. Tonight, La Quinta,

47:38

tomorrow you shine.
