Philly Leader

Lane Johnson, the Philadelphia Eagles' right tackle, continues to excel in his 12th NFL season. Known for his consistency and skill, Johnson has earned four All-Pro selections and five Pro Bowl appearances since being drafted in 2013. Jeff Stoutland, Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach, praised Johnson's talent and technique: "Not only is he physically freakish, he's technically sound."

The Eagles lead the NFL in rushing, with Johnson playing a crucial role. According to Pro Football Focus, he ranks as the No. 4 overall tackle and No. 2 right tackle with an 88.8 grade this season. He has allowed no sacks in 267 pass block snaps and boasts a run-blocking grade of 84.2.

Johnson's performance has improved from last year, with a pressure rate of just 5.8%, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Left tackle Jordan Mailata highlighted Johnson's consistency: "Consistency is key... That's why he's one of the greats."

Mekhi Becton, who plays next to Johnson at right guard, credits him for support and guidance: "He helps me on the play calls... He's like a big brother I never had."

Johnson attributes his success to maintaining a routine and evaluating areas for improvement each year: "I stay consistent with my routine... I'm a lot stronger player than I was earlier in my career." His continued excellence benefits the Eagles' offense significantly.
