Lane Johnson selected the NFL’s No. 1 offensive tackle by the AP

Philadelphia Eagles stalwart Lane Johnson has officially cemented his place atop the league's hierarchy, being named the NFL’s No. 1 offensive tackle by the Associated Press following a dominant 2024 season. This prestigious recognition underscores a campaign of unparalleled excellence, where Johnson served as the impenetrable right edge of an Eagles offensive line that powered the team to its second Super Bowl title. His individual brilliance was highlighted by an almost mythical statistic: not a single sack allowed throughout the entire 2024 season, a testament to his flawless technique, immense strength, and unwavering focus.

Johnson's performance wasn't merely about personal accolades; it was the bedrock upon which the Eagles' offensive juggernaut was built. Anchoring what was widely regarded as one of the NFL’s premier offensive line units, his presence elevated the play of every lineman around him. The cohesion and brute force of the Eagles' front five allowed their dynamic offense to flourish, providing clean pockets for the quarterback and opening gaping holes for the running backs. This level of consistent, dominant play from the offensive line, spearheaded by Johnson, is a rare commodity in professional football and a fundamental reason for Philadelphia's championship success. His ability to neutralize the league’s most fearsome pass rushers week after week provided the critical time needed for complex passing plays to develop and ensured the offense operated at peak efficiency.
