Eagles OT Lane Johnson ... • Two-time Super Bowl champion. • Five-time All-Pro (two time first-team). • Six-time Pro Bo Via @AlbertBreer on X

What happened: Philadelphia Eagles tackle Lane Johnson won two Super Bowls with five All-Pro selections, including two first-team nods, and six Pro Bowl selections. He arrived in junior college as a quarterback and reached Oklahoma at the position before developing into a tight end and then an offensive tackle.

Why it matters: Philadelphia drafted Johnson fourth overall in 2013 out of Oklahoma, giving the late position switch a first-round anchor. That path from quarterback to tight end to tackle frames his standing among the era's right tackles.

By the numbers: Draft: 4th overall in 2013 out of Oklahoma (as of Sept. 29, 2026). Honors: 2 championships, 5 All-Pro (2 first-team), 6 Pro Bowls. 2025: 1 tackle in 10 games (as of Sept. 29, 2026).

What to watch: Watch how Philadelphia settles right tackle going forward into the 2026 regular season.
