Lane Johnson, the star Philadelphia Eagles right tackle, retired on Tuesday after 14 seasons and two Super Bowl championships. Johnson helped the Eagles win Super Bowls LII and LIX. The 36-year-old Johnson was a first-round pick in 2013 and was a first-team All-Pro in 2017 and 2022. He earned second-team honors in 2021, 2023 and 2024. Johnson has been a pillar at right tackle and won a pair of Super Bowls with the Eagles. The six-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro started all 186 games he played with the Eagles, including playoffs, since Philadelphia drafted him with the fourth overall pick in 2013. Johnson, who missed Sunday's loss against the Los Angeles Rams for personal reasons, said he wants to focus on his mental health.
“Lane Johnson is an all-time Eagle and one of the best players ever to play his position in NFL history,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. “Lane was a major contributor to our team success for 14 seasons, helping to bring two Super Bowl championships and many other memorable moments to the organization and the city of Philadelphia.”
