Brandon Graham Benching 500 lbs FOUR TIMES

Make no mistake: I’m a training camp nerd. Watching live coverage on philadelphiaeagles.com as we speak somehow subduing the suicidal thoughts that fly through my brain as I’m forced to listen to Dave Spadaro. Anyway, there are a bunch of takeaways from this early camp thus far, including Dion Lewis impressing, Rodgers-Cromartie intercepting everything in sight, and Mychal Kendricks looking like the real deal at OLB. But bigger than anything so far has been how impressive this defensive line can look at times, more specifically the play of oft-critiqued former first round pick DE Brandan Graham. In the plainest language possible — he’s killing it. Finally healthy from that knee injury from over a year ago and going full speed beating everyone in 1-on-1 and 11-on-11 drills. He mentioned that there was a clip on YouTube of him throwing up 500 pounds (5 plates on each side) during the offseason in one of his interviews. So, you know, here it is.

Maybe he can make us hate the Birds’ decision to pick him over Jason Pierre-Paul a little less this season.

its not. thats serious money right there. this dude is in fantastic shape, I didnt see the sides if they had a cookie on there but 10 plates is 450 plus the bar is another 45 if its Olympic which obviously it is. Still insanely impressive. Im 5'11 205 and I can Press 340 for 2 and I look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in total recall when he gets trapped on mars surface and my shoulders feel like they're going to burst, then fall off. But the problem with this is: it has literally fucking nothing to do with how athletic he will be on the field and he doesnt have the mutant genetic features that JPP has. JPP's wing span looks like it'd be twice this niggas.
