In Honor of Brandon Graham Becoming a Children’s Author, Your Philadelphia Eagles ABC’s
Published:
You may have seen that recently-retired Philadelphia Eagle Brandon Graham is co-authoring a children’s book with former Eyewitness News anchor Lesley Van Arsdall. The book is titled BG’s ABCs – Tackling Football and Life, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon ahead of a May 9th release.
In some of the promotional photos shared online, B.G. is going through a list of motivational words pertaining to each letter. G, for instance, stands for goals, goodwill, and greatness. C is for confidence and courage.
