Sure, a Super Bowl appearance is cool, but hearing star right tackle Lane Johnson's plans for 2025 makes it feel like the Philadelphia Eagles have already won big-time.
"No, I'm definitely not retiring after this game, win or lose," Johnson said. "Definitely playing next year. That's really how you take it, I guess, when you get up there in age, you take it one year at a time. Physically, I feel a lot better than I have in the past couple years. Feel really good. For being this late in the year, it's usually not like that. I'm thankful, we've got a good team here to help us out with with all that."
Johnson, 34, only proved this past season that he has plenty of juice left in the tank after picking up his sixth overall Pro Bowl nod. He has just one more to earn in order to catch up to Jason Kelce and Jason Peters for the most Pro Bowls by an offensive lineman in Eagles franchise history.
Johnson's return is not only great news for the Eagles' unstoppable run game featuring Saquon Barkley, but also Jalen Hurts' passing game. His blocking skills remained incredible in both areas this past season as he led the position in pass-blocking (83.1) and run-blocking (92.2), per PFF.
Super Bowl LIX will be Johnson's overall third shot at a Lombardi Trophy and beating the Kansas City Chiefs would mark his second ring — not to mention a perfect addition to his future Hall of Fame career.
