Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL’s top 10 offensive tackles for 2025 - ESPN+
3. Lane Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles. Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: 10. Age: 35 | Last year’s ranking: 4. There has been no tangible drop-off in Johnson’s play after 12 seasons. In fact, Johnson ranked among the best — again — in run block win rate at 80.2. He has proved durable in his early-to-mid-30s, logging at least 15 games in each of the last three seasons on his way to consecutive Pro Bowls. These factors helped Johnson narrowly edge Trent Williams for the third spot. “He’s kind of the gold standard now — technique, smarts and probably the most instinctive of them all,” an NFL personnel director said. “He’s a perfect product of that system. He’s dealt with a lot, from mental health to injuries, and he’s come out of it better than ever.” Just about everyone lauds Johnson’s overall game, from his second-level mauling in the run game to his footwork and discipline in the pass game. [...] 5. Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagles. Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: Unranked. Age: 28 | Last year’s ranking: 7. Mailata is well known for his rare combination of size (6-foot-8, 365 pounds), agility and violence at the line of scrimmage. Now, he’s known for other things - such as a Super Bowl champion and a second team All-Pro. Mailata allowed 1.5 sacks in 2024 per Next Gen Stats, tied for the fewest among tackles with at least 350 pass-blocking snaps. Couple that with his running game prowess and the Eagles have a long-term solution at left tackle. One NFC exec called Mailata’s ascension “astronomical.” “One of the most unique players in the NFL,” a veteran NFL personnel executive said. “Has really improved year-to-year. Only thing that holds him back from the others at the top is they probably have better instincts.” A different personnel executive man with an NFC team loves Mailata’s game, but kept him out of the top four because he’s “still improving and becoming more sound, but there’s still enough ways to get him off balance.”
Superman had fun watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl - BGN
Days before the release of the new Superman movie, David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult sat down for a Vanity Fair lie detector test, and we learned that the new Superman also really enjoyed the Eagles most-recent Super Bowl win. Corenswet had previously joked that he doesn’t watch the Eagles anymore because they lose every time he tunes in, BUT admitted that didn’t include the Super Bowl. “I watched the Super Bowl. It was a great — it was an amazing game to watch, considering it was such a blowout. Usually, I don’t like a blowout.” That last part turned out to be a bit of a lie, because the test determined Corenswet actually does like a blowout — which is understandable,...
