Eagles' rookie Jalyx Hunt says Brandon Graham told him about what to expect from passionate Philly fans

Philadelphia Eagles 15-year veteran Brandon Graham has taken rookie linebacker Jalyx Hunt under his wing, explaining to the 23-year-old what he can expect from passionate Philly fans.

"Loves 'em," Hunt said when asked how BG feels of Philadelphia fans on Thursday's 94WIP Midday Show with Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio. "He loves 'em and they love BG. He tells me they're going to be hard on you because they put just as much love into it as you do. It's a lot of passion and you've got to respect it."

Hunt was a third-round pick of the Eagles (No. 94 overall) in this year's draft and will be competing for playing time in his first season behind guys like Nakobe Dean, Nolan Smith, and Zack Baun.

Graham, 36, confirmed this week he will retire after the season, his 15th NFL season all in Philadelphia.

BG—1x 2nd-team All-Pro, 1x Pro Bowl, and SB champ—is currently 3rd in Eagles history in sacks (73.0) and 1st in games played (195).
