Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson was a rookie when LeSean McCoy set the rushing record and is now a veteran who helped Saquon Barkley break it.
PHILADELPHIA – He is the last man standing from a generation ago when LeSean “Shady” McCoy set the Eagles rushing record in 2013. Eleven years later, Lane Johnson is still here, and just as he did when he helped McCoy take down Wilbert Montgomery’s single-season rushing, he helped Barkley rewrite the record.
Johnson was the fourth overall pick in 2013 and became a starter right out of the gate. The right tackle had Todd Herremans next to him at right guard. Jason Kelce was the center. The left side was manned by Jason Peters at tackle and Evan Mathis at guard.“Here’s what I’ll say,” said Johnson. “Obviously I was talented, but I had a really good vet next to me, Todd Herremanns. Half the time I didn’t know what was going on as far as the playbook.
“ changed the studs in his cleats,” said Johnson. “I wish I did because I was sliding and wasn’t blocking nobody. Nobody could do nothing. He had spikes like climbing like free solo. It worked.”
