Lane Johnson (10), Philadelphia Eagles
What PFF says…
Injuries have hindered Johnson over the past few years, but he’s still managed to produce at a high level. However, that’s with exception of his run-blocking in 2020, as his grade fell outside the top 10 among tackles for just the second time in his NFL career. Johnson was fantastic in pass protection, though. He posted an 83.1 pass-blocking grade and allowed only two pressures through his first six starts.
He played through nagging injuries in 2018 and still looked like a top-10 tackle. Before he went down in 2019, causing him to miss the last few weeks of the season, Johnson was the second-highest-graded tackle in the NFL. When fully healthy, he is among the best at his craft.
What Sooners Wire says…
The Birds are in a rebuilding phase and Lane Johnson is the anchor up front that sets the tone on offense. The Eagles bolstered depth along the offensive line and with Johnson’s healthy return, he will kickstart the unit’s aim for regained dominance at the line of scrimmage. The 31-year-old right tackle will go up against the NFC East’s pass rushers and protect second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts. Having Johnson as a bodyguard would make anyone feel better under center.
Now, a journey to the AFC West.
