Since the team's inaugural season in 1933, a number of amazing players have been part of the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, few have been as important as defensive end Brandon Graham, who the Eagles selected with the No. 13 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.
His time with Philadelphia is over, though, after he held a press conference on Tuesday to officially announce his retirement, which had already been widely speculated considering he is 36 years old.
Quickly after the announcement, the Eagles honored Graham with his own social media post, captioned, "One of the best to ever wear the midnight green. Thank you for 15 incredible seasons, Brandon Graham. Congratulations on an amazing NFL career."

Graham now retires having played his entire career with the Eagles, racking up 487 tackles, 76.5 sacks (third in team history), 126 tackles for loss, 153 quarterback hits (second in team history) and 22 forced fumbles (second in team history)
Along with those impressive numbers, he's retiring with some impressive accolades, including being named to one Pro Bowl, one Second-Team All-Pro, and having won two Super Bowls.
One of Graham's most memorable moments with the Eagles came in their Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots, when he strip-sacked quarterback Tom Brady with two minutes and 16 seconds left to help ice the game.
