Lane Johnson is one of the best tackles in all of football and he’s a man very well of his legacy in the league and where he stands among his peers.
The Eagles have one of the top offensive lines in the NFL when Johnson is in the lineup, but teeter off in production when he’s not in the lineup. Johnson responds anytime he feels snubbed and struck again when responding to a CBS Sports ranking of the top-10 offensive linemen in the NFL.
Johnson landed at No. 8 on the list and called it “fake news” per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Johnson was one of the highest-graded run-blockers last season and he only allowed one sack during pass-blocking snaps. According to Tyler Sullivan, Johnson being limited to 12 games last season and is now entering his 30s dropped him down on the list.
Brandon Brooks was left off the list after suffering a torn Achilles while working out.
