Brandon Graham's Message For Nelson Agholor

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Everyone is piling on Nelson Agholor.

The second-year Eagles wide receiver is struggling this season, coming off his worst game of the season. Seventh-year Eagles defensive lineman Brandon Graham has been there before, frustrated early in his career and hearing it from the fans and media.

Graham, 28, is now arguably the Eagles' most productive player and he has some sage advice for the 23-year-old Eagles receiver.

"Oh yeah," Graham said when Angelo Cataldi asked if he'll speak to Agholor on Wednesday's 94WIP Morning Show. "That's why I feel like I'm here now because I see that. And I see how I need to let him know, and I said I was going to really sit down and let him know, 'Man work will overcome everything. You just gotta make sure you keep putting in a little extra. You gotta finish strong this year and next year during the offseason, you gotta really just take it to another level.'

"He got off social media. That's what I had to do. You just gotta focus, because things are gonna change. Tables turn all the time. So it's on you to take advantage of it when that table turns. I'm gonna talk to him. I really feel like I've got some good advice for him."

Agholor failed to lineup on the line of scrimmage in the Eagles' 26-15 loss to the Seahawks, negating a 57-yard Zach Ertz touchdown catch.

"Well you know, we all can't point fingers at nobody," Graham said when asked if teammates were frustrated with Agholor for costing the team points. "Yeah, people make mistakes in the game. We all did. So I'm behind him one hundred percent. I believe he gonna get it right. It was tough to see him go through it."
