The Philadelphia Eagles are multitasking.
While preparing for Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles are completing some minute offseason tasks. On Friday they agreed, in principle, to an extension with run game coordinator/offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, per ESPN.
Stoutland has been with the Eagles since 2013. He is the longest-tenured member of the Eagles staff, and one of just five offensive line coaches since the 1970 merger to produce Pro Bowlers in at least nine consecutive years with the same team, per his bio on the Eagles' website.
He is part of the reason Philadelphia's run game and the offensive line have been so potent. Stoutland's group led the NFL in rushing touchdowns during the regular season with 32.
Additionally, Stoutland's group scored seven rushing touchdowns in their first two playoff games.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts was a big reason for the Eagles' success in 2022. However, Stoutland helped put him and Miles Sanders in great positions to succeed. With him locked into another deal, the run game is basically guaranteed to continue to be successful moving forward.
