When the Eagles were in the process of absolutely demolishing the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, I had jokingly mentioned to my brother that Howie Roseman (the Eagles’ GM) should win Super Bowl MVP. As the game wore on, it felt less like a joke and more like reality. No individual Eagles player stood out from the rest, and there was a constant barrage of big plays from a seemingly endless number of players. Each time a different player made a significant play, I thought to myself, “How do they have so many impact players?!” Specifically on defense.
The answer to my rhetorical question is Howie Roseman, a wizard among men in the NFL business world. He assembled (and is continuing to assemble) an exceptionally deep and talented roster that was exponentially better than any other team out there. Sure, there are teams with superstar starters and decent benches, but this team is built differently. It was complete with few to no holes and endless depth.
