Eagles’ Lane Johnson ranked among the top 11 tackles in NFL

Lane Johnson can talk the talk because he walks the walk, each and every Sunday for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Birds right tackle has been recognized nationally and now he’s being held in high regard as one of the best at his position. USA Today’s Touchdown Wire has been ranking the top players by position, and the Eagles right tackle came in at No. 11 on the list.

After allowing four sacks to Philadelphia’s opposing defenses to start the season, the Eagles star didn’t give up a sack from week 6 of the regular season through the Eagles divisional-round loss to the Saints to end their playoff run.

Originally selected by the Eagles with the No. 4-overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Johnson has become one of the league’s top offensive tackles. Dallas Cowboys star left tackle, Tyron Smith snagged the top spot.
