The lasting impact of Brandon Graham on Nolan Smith

Nolan Smith, inspired by retired NFL player Brandon Graham, has emerged as a leading edge rusher for the Philadelphia Eagles. After a slow rookie start, Smith embraced Graham's advice to "Be You," which helped him overcome pressures as a first-round pick. In his second year, Smith recorded 10.5 sacks and is now the Eagles' top edge rusher following Graham's retirement. Committed to playing the right way, Smith aims to blend strong pass rushing with overall gameplay. Despite suffering a Super Bowl injury, he's back in training, seeking guidance from coach Vic Fangio. Smith maintains a strong bond with Graham, continuing to draw inspiration from the legendary player's legacy.
