Brandon Graham is what you think of when speaking about a Philadelphia athlete and the Detroit native will go down in history after setting a new franchise record by playing in his 189th regular-season game as an Eagle.
The Eagles legend surpassed David Akers for most regular season games played in midnight green. I have been an Eagles fan for a long time and I can recall many (so many!) players that the Birds drafted who didn’t live up to their potential or, really, any potential.
In the world of professional football, David Roy Akers is a name etched in the annals of the National Football League (NFL) for his remarkable 16-season journey as a placekicker, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ladies and gentlemen... the Jets! The Eagles play the Jets at 4:25 as Fox’s Game of the Week because the schedule makers thought we’d see Aaron Rodgers.
David Akers is generally regarded as the best kicker in Eagles history, but you could make the case that Jake Elliott is the second best and, still just 26 and signed through 2024, could surpass Akers as the very best.
In the post-merger era of the NFL (1970-present), 25 kickers have made 16 or more field goals in the postseason over the course of their careers. How many of the 25 can you name in five minutes?
