The Philadelphia Eagles usually do quite well when it comes to swinging for the fences.
They have a knack for taking risks and being patient with high-upside players.
That might be the case again with Moro Ojomo.
Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson is quite excited about the defensive tackle.
“Take it from me: He’s the real deal,” Johnson said, via Zach Berman of The Athletic.

He’s not the only one who has taken notice of the seventh-round pick from the 2023 NFL Draft.
Position coach Clint Hurtt also recently showered him with praise, so it looks like he’s poised to have a bigger role in his third season.
At 6-foot-3, 292 pounds, he has the necessary physical traits, but he’s also still quite raw.
The native of Nigeria enrolled as a 16-year-old at the University of Texas.
Now, he’s looking to take a leap and showcase what he’s learned in his brief journey in football.
Despite a lack of playing time, Ojomo has shown more than just athleticism and strength, with Hurtt also praising him for his growing football IQ, which is a must to thrive in coordinator Vic Fangio’s defense.
So far, Ojomo has taken the field for 456 defensive snaps through his first two seasons, and he has yet to record his first NFL sack.
But with so many rave reviews about his offseason improvement, and an Eagles defense that creates stars at every level, fans may see the best of him sooner rather than later.
