Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham couldn’t help but attack the Cowboys when he took the stage to announce an NFL Draft pick on Friday night.
Early in the second round, before Philadelphia selected Cooper DeJean with the 40th overall pick, Graham made his loyalty to Detroit clear.
He began by saying “Go Blue,” a tribute to his alma mater Michigan, whose national championship-winning team was recognized before the second round began.
Graham then started singing ‘EAGLES’ before taking aim at his hated NFC East rivals.
‘Dallas sucks!’ he said. ‘All day.’
Brandon Graham angered crowd at NFL Draft when he shouted ‘Dallas sucks’ on stage
The Eagles selected Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean with the 40th pick on Friday.
The comment drew a surprised ‘woah’ from NFL Network host Rich Eisen on air.
Graham then laughed as the crowd applauded his fighting words.
The 36-year-old has spent his entire career with Philadelphia since they drafted him in 2010.
The Eagles made Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell the first cornerback taken at No. 22.
The addition of DeJean strengthens a now crowded secondary that includes Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
DeJean, who raised eyebrows when she said she could beat fellow Iowa product Caitlin Clark in basketball, was projected by many as a first-round pick.
