The Philadelphia Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in the game.
They play like a strong, physical unit that can usually overpower its way at the line of scrimmage.
Notably, a lot of that has to do with Lane Johnson.
As shown in a graphic shared by Kendall Beck on X, the legendary tackle ranks on a tier of his own in terms of time to pressure and pressure rate for offensive tackles.

He’s far ahead of the rest of the pack, even at this age.
The Eagles have drawn plenty of criticism for their now-infamous ‘Tush Push’ play, constantly calling out the referees for the way they constantly get away with false starts and jump offsides.
That’s a valid complaint, and the video backs up those claims more often than not.
Nevertheless, people also ought to give credit where it’s due, and there’s absolutely no doubt that the Eagles have the strongest offensive lines in the game.
Johnson has done an outstanding job of giving Jalen Hurts a clean pocket more often than not, excelling in both pass and run protection and making sure that he’s out of harm’s way on every dropback.
This team is built on the trenches, and while the playmakers and plethora of offensive weapons deserve all the credit and praise they get, it’s guys like Johnson that make that possible by doing the dirty work.
It might often go unnoticed to the naked eye and the stat sheet, but make no mistake, this team wouldn’t be half as good without Lane Johnson on the field.
