Lane Johnson is entering his 13th season with the Philadelphia Eagles as their starting right tackle. Throughout those dynamic years, the former fourth-overall pick has played alongside many different guards.
Brandon Brooks, Cam Jurgens, and Mekhi Becton are just some of the many names that have played next to the All-Pro through the years.
As Johnson prepares for a new season as the elder statesman of the offensive line, he is expected to have a new partner next to him. Becton signed a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason.
So ...
Philadelphia is expected to have a position battle with many young players like Tyler Steen, Kenyon Green, and Trevor Keegan competing for the starting role.
With so many changes next to him, it's amazing how Johnson has continued to find a way to maintain consistency as an All-Pro player.
For fellow teammate and Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata, it isn't too surprising, though.
“For Lane, he’s able to adapt. He’s able to find that rhythm with whoever he’s playing next to," Mailata explained during OTAs.
Philadelphia's offensive line is among the most elite in NFL history. They have won two Super Bowls and reached a third in large part because of their line.
So long as Johnson is able to "adapt" to the different players he continues to play next to, it's a good bet that the Eagles will remain title contenders into the future. And Johnson's career will only further grow among the greatest at his position.
