Lane Johnson is a one of the top right tackles in all of football and a bonafide future Hall of Famer if he keeps up his high level of play.
Earlier this offseason, Johnson joined free agent left tackle, Jason Peters, on the Pro Football Focus All-Decade team for the 2010s and he was also named to the top 101 players of 2019 as well.
After announcing the All-Decade team, Pro Football Focus ranked them accordingly by quarters, with Lane Johnson landing in the first release, at No. 79 on the list.
79. T LANE JOHNSON
Lane Johnson’s pass protection has been impressive throughout his career — there are games where he has shut down Von Miller — but where he really distances himself from his peers is when it comes to run-blocking. In this area, Johnson was by far the best right tackle of the decade, and only recently retired Joe Staley boasts a better grade among all tackles. Johnson has also had to navigate injuries and suspension, missing at least one game in all but two of his NFL seasons. When he is on the field, though, Johnson has been a dominant force for the Eagles.
Even in 12 injury-riddled games, Johnson was dominant, posting the best run-blocking grade (92.6) of any tackle in football this season, while allowing only one sack across 454 pass-blocking snaps.
Numbers 50-74 will be released on Tuesday.
