Eagles’ Brandon Graham Apologizes After Commenting on Jalen Hurts-AJ Brown’s Relationship: ‘We All Make Mistakes’

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham has issued many apologies since Monday night after commenting on the relationship between quarterback Jalen Hurts and receiver AJ Brown.

Graham, who is out for the season with a torn triceps, went on local sports radio station 94.1 WIP on Monday and talked about Hurts and Brown. There has been speculation about their relationship since their win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. After the game, Brown (who hasn’t seen much action lately) pointedly told the media that he feels the passing game needs work, and that he and Hurts don’t communicate much during games to discuss and resolve what might not be works. .

While many Eagles fans wondered what could be going on with Hurts and Brown, who are known to be good friends (Hurts is the godfather of Brown’s baby daughter), Graham was asked for his opinion during his radio interview . He then metaphorically stepped into a bucket labeled “team stuff you don’t talk about in public.”

“The person complaining needs to be held accountable,” Graham told WIP. “I don’t know the whole story, but I do know that 1 [Hurts] tries and 11 [Brown] could be a little better in the way he reacts to things. They were friends before, but things have changed, and I understand that because life happens. But it’s the business side, we have to make sure the personal doesn’t get in the way of the business side.”

Just a few hours later, Graham told ESPN’s Tim McManus that he had talked out of turn.

Graham appeared again on WIP Tuesday morning, clarifying his previous comments and apologizing.

Drama escaping the practice facility and going public is never great for a team, but as Graham said, he’s confident this can be something the Eagles (including himself) can learn and grow from as they all still always focused on the most important thing: winning.
