Brandon Graham, the leader of the Eagles' defensive line, expressed optimism about Jalen Carter's development, highlighting his increased snap count and potential to become a dominant player. Graham humorously pointed out that Carter didn't record a sack in the recent game but believes he has more to offer. He also praised Nolan Smith's progress, encouraging him to focus on consistency and enjoy small victories as he adjusts to the NFL. Graham, drawing from his own experience as a first-round pick, emphasized the importance of mental clarity and not putting too much pressure on oneself to succeed. He sees both Carter and Smith as key contributors to the team's defensive line, reinforcing the Eagles' decision not to bolster their pass rush at the trade deadline.
