Eagles Earn Least-Surprising Position-Group Ranking In Entire NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports .
Of all the reasons why the Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the best teams in the NFL in recent seasons, one position group deserves the credit above the rest.

Philadelphia's offensive line has been among football's most consistent and best over the last 15 years – and they are the barometer around here. When the group is elite, the franchise is a Super Bowl contender. When they fall short of that mark, Philly sometimes struggles to win five games.
Last season, the Eagles were obviously a Super Bowl contender (which panned out, of course). They were more than that.
They were – and are – one of the most dominant teams in NFL history.

And the centerpiece of it all is explained as Pro Football Focus ranked the Eagles' offensive line as the top group in the sport.
"The Eagles boast the NFL's best offensive tackle duo, featuring two players who rank at the top of their respective positions," PFF's Zoltán Buday said. "Left tackle Jordan Mailata 's 95.2 PFF overall grade in 2024 led all offensive tackles, while right tackle Lane Johnson 's 88.9 mark placed fifth.
"There is some uncertainty along Philadelphia's interior following right guard Mekhi Becton 's departure, but Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens remain to make this the best offensive line in football entering the 2025 season."

Philadelphia does have to figure out a way to replace Becton at right guard, but that doesn't take away from the rest of their elite group.
Today, Mailata, Dickerson, Jurgens and Johnson are among the NFL's very best players at their respective positions. Together, they make up an offensive line that figures to be remembered by history as legendary.
And in this offseason it is therefore the least-surprising ranking of all to see that the Eagles are given the top rating among the offensive lines in the NFL.
