Participating in his first Eagles minicamp wasn't the only highlight of Brandon Graham's week. He also met President Obama during Saturday's graduation ceremony in Ann Arbor.
"I got to shake his hand," Graham told gcobb.com. "It was a real cool thing - my coach set it up (Rich Rodriguez). I was like, 'Please, I'm about to go. I just want to shake his hand,' and I shook his hand. It was real nice. He just said, 'Go Blue.'"
Graham describes his first impressions of life in the NFL in this video from Delaware County Times. Meanwhile, Brad Wilson of The Express-Times says Graham learned from adversity encountered at Michigan.

What a great picture with two of many outstanding Michigan student/athletes... other college presidents must be green with envy, or red in the face at a picture like this.
