There were many factors that contributed to the Philadelphia Eagles’ march to the Super Bowl last season. Philadelphia laid claim to arguably the best roster in football, but it was the Eagles’ offensive line that led the charge for one of the most dominant teams in franchise history.

Center Jason Kelce anchored the best offensive line in football, but the talent around the unquestioned team leader is truly something to marvel at. Left guard Landon Dickerson and right tackle Lane Johnson joined Kelce in receiving Pro Bowl nods, while left tackle Jordan Mailata emerged as one of the league’s breakout players in 2022.

The Birds’ offensive line remains mostly unchanged, though starting right guard Isaac Seamulo signed a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. However second-year stud Cam Jurgens is ready to fill that void as he enters his first season as a full-time starter.

Continuity coupled with sheer dominance is why Pro Football Focus ranks this Eagles unit as the top offensive line in football heading into the 2023 season.

From PFF: The Eagles remain the best offensive line in the game on paper. They lost a starter in the offseason, but 2022 draft pick Cam Jurgens is ready to step in to fill that void.

The biggest flaw with this line in 2022 was penalties. With 44 as a unit, the Eagles were tied for the most penalized line in the NFL.

The Eagles should pick up exactly where they left off, though it won't be Miles Sanders running through the monster-truck sized gaps up front. D'Andre Swift hopes to rejuvenate his career in Philly's backfield, and if the offensive line is able to replicate their production from a season ago, he should have no problem doing so.
