The Philadelphia Eagles report to the NovaCare Complex for the start of 2025 Training Camp, presented by Independence Blue Cross, on Tuesday, July 22. PhiladelphiaEagles.com will get you ready by previewing the top storylines at each position. Today, a look at the offensive line, featuring four Pro Bowl and All-Pro players among the starters.
Did You Know?
The Eagles set an NFL single-season record with 3,866 rushing yards in the regular season and playoffs combined in 2024.
Returning Starters
Each member of the Eagles' starting offensive line from the Super Bowl LIX team earned All-Pro votes in 2024, including first-time All-Pro selection Jordan Mailata. The franchise left tackle was the NFL's top-graded offensive player according to Pro Football Focus last season – yes, overall offensive player – and has the second-best grade amongst offensive tackles since 2022, highlighting how Mailata (6-8, 365 pounds) has become a consistent, dominant force at a position of strength over the years for the Eagles.
A key to Mailata's success, and vice versa, has been the chemistry with three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson, who is one of only five NFL guards to make the Pro Bowl in each of the past three years. In fact, Dickerson has already tied the franchise record for most Pro Bowl selections at the guard position. Dickerson (6-6, 332 pounds) is extremely tough, dependable, and able to adapt to circumstances on the fly. He moved over to center for the NFC Championship Game as Cam Jurgens was dealing with a back injury.
Jurgens was a revelation at center last season, becoming at 25 years old the youngest Eagles center to earn Pro Bowl honors since Ken Farragut (also 25) in 1953. Jurgens (6-3, 303 pounds) previously started at right guard in the 2023 season before taking over at center. Jurgens' athletic ability and agility to climb to the second level of the defense helped ignite the run game, while his intellect aided a passing attack that set a team record for passer rating (103.4) last season.
The Eagles' longest-tenured player, right tackle Lane Johnson, has carved out an illustrious career that continues into a 13th season with the team in 2025. He is the only offensive lineman in Eagles history with multiple Super Bowl titles. He has been selected to six Pro Bowls and is a five-time All-Pro honoree. And Johnson (6-6, 325 pounds) is still at the top of his game, allowing no sacks and just one QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps last season. According to Pro Football Focus, Johnson led all NFL right tackles in pass-blocking grade, knockdown percentage, and pressure percentage in 2024.
For the first time in 2025, the NFL will name a Protector of the Year at the NFL Honors ceremony. It would not be a surprise if one of the players listed above wins.
In the Mix
Tyler Steen was a valuable reserve in 2024 who started three games, including the NFC Championship, and played more than 400 snaps on offense (postseason included). Entering his third season, Steen (6-6, 321 pounds) will look to win the right guard job that opened up when Mekhi Becton signed with the Chargers in free agency.
Second-year guard Trevor Keegan made his NFL debut in the regular-season finale against the Giants. A fifth-round pick in 2024, Keegan (6-5, 306 pounds) will look to take the next step and push for more playing time after spending all of his rookie season on the active roster.
All tackle Darian Kinnard does is win Super Bowls. Three NFL seasons. Three Super Bowls. The former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs parlayed a future contract with the Eagles last season into a reserve role on the active roster after a strong Training Camp and preseason. Kinnard (6-5, 322 pounds) made his first career NFL start in the regular-season finale against the Giants.
Brett Toth first arrived in Philadelphia as a rookie free agent in 2019 after receiving a waiver to play in the NFL following his college career at Army. Since entering the league, Toth (6-6, 304 pounds) has had stints in Arizona and Carolina, but most of his playing experience has come in Philadelphia. Last season, Toth was on the practice squad for the regular season before being promoted to the active roster and suiting up in all four playoff games. Toth's versatility along the line is a key asset.
Tackle Laekin Vakalahi is an international prospect who arrived from Australia last season and spent the year on the practice squad. Vakalahi (6-5, 320) had never played the game before traveling to the United States.
New to the Nest
The Eagles acquired former first-round pick Kenyon Green in a trade with the Houston Texans this offseason. The 15th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M, Green (6-4, 325) has 23 starts at left guard under his belt. Green will look to follow in the footsteps of Becton, as a former first-round pick who found his footing in Philadelphia.
Even with four of five offensive line starters signed to long-term extensions, the Eagles used the 2025 NFL Draft to build depth and prepare for the future in selecting center/guard Drew Kendall and tackles Myles Hinton and Cameron Williams. Kendall (6-4, 308 pounds) started 37 games at center at Boston College and his father, Pete, was a former first-round pick of the Seahawks. Hinton (6-7, 323 pounds) was a two-year starter at right tackle at Stanford before taking over the left tackle spot in his second season at Michigan. Like Kendall, Hinton's father, Chris, played in the NFL and was an eight-time All-Pro. Williams (6-6, 317 pounds) started all 15 games this past season for the Texas Longhorns. The Eagles also signed tackle Hollin Pierce (6-8, 341 pounds) and offensive lineman Marcus Tate (6-5, 321 pounds) following the NFL Draft.
Veteran Kendall Lamm brings a wealth of experience to the Eagles. The former Texan, Brown, Titan, and Dolphin has played 119 regular-season games over 10 NFL seasons with starts at both tackle positions.
Matt Pryor is new to the nest in 2025, but he started his career as a sixth-round pick of the Eagles in 2018. He played in 27 games (10 starts) over two seasons for the Eagles before spending time with the Colts, 49ers, and Bears. This past year, he started 14 games for Chicago and logged more than 1,000 offensive snaps for the first time in his career.
Bird Call
"I feel like that's been the mindset since we got back. Last year's team won the Super Bowl and we celebrated and then, like it is every year, time to move on. This is a different team. We haven't done anything yet." – Lane Johnson
