Eagles DE Brandon Graham shouts ‘Dallas sucks!’ while onstage at 2024 NFL Draft, before Philly selects Iowa CB Cooper DeJean

Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham couldn’t resist taking a shot at the Cowboys when he was brought on stage Friday night to announce an NFL Draft pick.

Early in the second round, before Philly Cooper selected DeJean at No. 40, Graham made his loyalty clear in Detroit.

He began by saying “Go Blue,” a tribute to his alma mater Michigan, whose national championship-winning team was recognized before the second round began.

Graham then started an “EAGLES” chant before taking aim at their hated NFC East rivals.

“Dallas sucks!” he said. ‘All day.’

Brandon Graham sent the NFL Draft crowd into a frenzy when he shouted “Dallas sucks” on stage

The Eagles selected Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean with the 40th overall pick on Friday

The comment elicited a surprised “woah” from NFL Network host Rich Eisen on air.

Graham then laughed as the crowd cheered his fighting words.

The 36-year-old has spent his entire career with Philadelphia since they drafted him in 2010.

The Eagles made Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell the starting cornerback at No. 22.

The addition of DeJean strengthens a now crowded secondary that includes Darius Slay and James Bradberry.

DeJean, who raised eyebrows when he said he could beat fellow Iowa native Caitlin Clark in basketball, was seen by many as a first-round pick.
