The Philadelphia Eagles have the best offensive line in the league, and that isn't changing anytime soon. All five starters on the unit are signed through the 2027 season.
A big reason for Philadelphia's recent success in the trenches has been its two stalwart tackles, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Since both were named starters, Philadelphia's line has reached new heights as a collective unit.
They have blocked for a 2,000-yard runner, an MVP finalist, and have won a Super Bowl.
Pro Football Focus is just the latest publication to speak out in favor of Philadelphia's tackle tandem. In their weekly series ranking each position group, the analytics site ranked Mailata and Johnson as the best offensive tackle duo in the league.
"Bookending the best offensive line in football, Mailata and Johnson are the best offensive tackle duo in the NFL and, arguably, the best players at their respective positions," Zoltán Buday said. "Mailata's 95.2 PFF overall grade led all offensive tackles in 2024, while Johnson's 88.9 figure ranked second among right tackles.
"Johnson's 88.7 PFF pass-blocking grade was the highest at the position. Johnson's 2.2 percent pressure rate allowed ranked second among all tackles and led all right tackles, while Mailata's 3.7 percent clip ranked eighth among all offensive tackles."
Philadelphia has had a strong history of excellent tackle play. Mailata and Johnson are just the latest duo to excel. Johnson, the former fourth-overall pick out of Oklahoma, is a five-time All-Pro and considered maybe the best right tackle in modern history. Mailata, meanwhile, was a seventh-round draft steal who has grown from a rugby star to an NFL success story.
Few teams in the league have two quality tackles on their roster. Even fewer can claim both of their tandem as Pro Bowl talents.
The Eagles are the only team that can call both of its tackles the best at their respective positions.
It's why they remain a top team in the league.
