Eagles At South Jersey Mall: Brandon Graham Among Birds Going To Football Fest

DEPTFORD, NJ — Brandon Graham and several of his Eagles teammates will visit South Jersey for a pigskin celebration.

Deptford Mall will welcome the public to its 2024 Family Football Fest in late August — just before the NFL regular season gets underway.

Graham and Eagles rookie Quinyon Mitchell will make special appearances. Another Eagles player — to be revealed on a later date — will also join them.

The annual Family Football Fest features games, children's activities, local food vendors and live entertainment. The event runs from 1-5 p.m. Aug. 31 in the mall parking lot near Almonesson Road.

Admission is free for the event, which supports the Deptford Township L.E.A.D. (Law Enforcement Against Drugs) program.

Graham has been a mainstay on the Eagles defense since the franchise drafted him in 2010. The defensive end made one of the biggest plays in Philly sports history — a strip sack against Tom Brady in the closing minutes of Super Bowl LII against the Patriots. Last year, Graham surpassed David Akers's franchise record of 188 regular-season games in an Eagles uniform.

The Eagles selected Mitchell in the first round of this year's NFL draft, with the 22nd overall pick. The cornerback was a two-time All-American with the University of Toledo.

Graham and Mitchell will attend the event from 2-4 p.m.

The Birds open the regular season Sept. 6, facing the Packers in Brazil during the first-ever NFL regular-season game in South America.
