Brandon Graham owes debt of gratitude to Jake Long
4 replies
"My freshman year was the worst because I had to go against him all the time and he used to go 100 percent all the time," says Graham, a defensive end/outside linebacker. "He didn't do anything but make me better. He put me on the ground a few times. Well, a whole bunch of times."

The Dolphins are looking for productive outside linebackers as well, and Bill Parcells' affinity for Michigan products is well known. After all, two of the first three draft picks of the Parcells era in South Florida were from Michigan (Chad Henne being the other).

So we want to draft a guy who gets knocked around by Jake Long all the time? Hmmm, not so sure about that strategy. :lol:

Graham said as a freshman he was knocked down by Big Jake.
Have you seen him play at all lately or just blindly putting it out there
Brandon Graham learned a lot
The knock is he is only 6-1
great awareness, big motor
the guy is a stud.

The Michigan connection already occurred to me. Don't know if there's anything to it or not. But, it's something to keep in mind IMO.
