In a bold proclamation that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, recently retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Brandon Graham has made a stunning prediction for Super Bowl LX. The 37-year-old defensive end, who hung up his cleats in March after an illustrious 15-year career exclusively with the Eagles, is doubling down on his former team’s chances of repeating as champions.
“I really do feel like they going back again,” Graham declared with unwavering confidence on the latest episode of Gallen of Questions, aired on PHILLY57 and CBS News Philadelphia. As training camp looms, the Eagles are emerging as a top contender, if not the team to beat, in the race for the 2026 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8.
The Secret Sauce of the Eagles’ Locker Room
What sets the Eagles apart in a league driven by talent? According to Graham, it’s their unmatched leadership. “You got people that will address something if it really needs to be addressed,” he explained via CBS News Philadelphia. “In our business, you’ve got to address stuff, or it’ll show up on you at the wrong time. And I feel like we got that. We got guys that, if coach don’t want to say it, we going to say it.”
Graham’s insight stems from experience. Last season, when tensions flared between quarterback Jalen Hurts and star receiver A.J. Brown, Graham didn’t shy away from acknowledging the strain publicly on SportsRadio 94WIP, noting that “things have changed” between the two. Though he later apologized, the issue was swiftly resolved, allowing the Eagles to stay laser-focused on their ultimate goal. The result? A dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
“We got to address things that pop up in the season,” Graham emphasized. “That happened this year, and we addressed it, and we moved on. And we stayed focused on what the goal was, but you got to make sure they have the leaders in that room, which I know they do. Why it can’t be them to do it again? That’s how I feel.”
A Powerhouse Offseason for a Repeat Run
The Eagles’ prospects for another championship are bolstered by a stellar offseason orchestrated by general manager Howie Roseman. In an era where salary-cap constraints often dismantle rosters, Roseman managed to lock in key veterans with extensions for running back Saquon Barkley, center Cam Jurgens, and right tackle Lane Johnson. The team’s core, including superstars like Hurts, Barkley, and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, remains intact—a rare feat in today’s NFL.
At the heart of this juggernaut is Jalen Hurts, the Super Bowl LIX MVP who continues to defy expectations. Despite navigating a revolving door of offensive coordinators, Hurts delivered a masterful performance in the championship game, completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while adding 72 rushing yards and another score. Graham praised his quarterback’s relentless focus, saying, “He lock in, he really do lock in. And I got much respect for that behind closed doors, nobody would know because everybody don’t get to see that.”
A Dynasty in the Making?
With a rock-solid roster, battle-tested leadership, and a quarterback playing at an elite level, the Eagles are poised to make history. Graham’s prediction isn’t just blind loyalty—it’s a testament to the culture and resilience he helped build over his 15-year tenure. As the NFL world turns its eyes to Philadelphia, the question isn’t whether the Eagles can compete, but whether anyone can stop them from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy again.
