Lane Johnson’s playing career is over. The debate over his place in NFL history shouldn't be complicated.
At his peak, Johnson combined uncommon athleticism with the strength and technical control required to neutralize elite pass rushers. Philadelphia trusted him in isolated protection situations, allowing the offense to allocate help elsewhere. His ability to handle those assignments shaped what the Eagles could call.
Johnson retires with two Super Bowl championships, three NFC titles, six Pro Bowl selections, and five Associated Press All-Pro honors. He was a first-team All-Pro twice and remained among the league’s best right tackles well into his 30s. Those honors provide the foundation of Johnson’s Pro Football Hall of Fame case. The film
strengthens it.

Johnson’s final résumé includes six Pro Bowls, five AP All-Pro honors, three conference championships and two Super Bowl victories. He became one of only three Eagles to win multiple Super Bowls and the only offensive lineman in that group. His six Pro Bowl selections rank second among Eagles offensive tackles, trailing Jason Peters’ seven.
Johnson also joined Peters and Frank “Bucko” Kilroy as the only Eagles tackles to earn Pro Bowl recognition in at least three consecutive seasons. Johnson accomplished it twice, from 2017 through 2019 and again from 2022 through 2024.
The Eagles selected Johnson fourth overall in 2013. He went on to start all 171 regular-season games and all 15 postseason games.
