Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham couldn’t help but take a shot at the Cowboys when he was brought onstage to announce an NFL Draft pick on Friday night.
Early in the second round, before Philly selected Cooper DeJean at No. 40, Graham made his allegiances clear in Detroit.
He started off by saying ‘Go Blue,’ an homage to his alma mater Michigan, whose national championship-winning team was recognized before the second round began.
Graham then started an ‘E-A-G-L-E-S’ chant before taking aim at their hated NFC East rivals.
‘Dallas sucks!,’ he said. ‘All day.’
