At 32 Years Old, Brandon Graham Is Near The Top Of The NFL In Sacks, TFLs

At 32 years old, former Michigan football and current Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham racked up two sacks and two tackles for loss against Baltimore on Sunday, and now sits near the top of the NFL in both categories.

It wasn't all positive news for Michigan Men in the pros this weekend, however, with Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush each tearing their ACLs.

Both players will miss the rest of the year.

Complete updates follow on how every Michigan player performed in the NFL over the weekend.
