Center

  1. Jason Kelce
  2. Stefen Wisniewski

Kelce is one of the Eagles’ best offensive linemen and he will continue to start at center for the Eagles in 2016. Kelce is a former Pro Bowler and was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the No. 1 center in the NFL in 2013. Kelce had a down year last season, but it didn’t help that he was playing next to Allen Brabre and Matt Tobin the whole year. With a better supporting cast, Kelce’s play will improve.

If Wisniewski loses the position battle at left guard, not only will he backup Allen Barbre at, but he will backup Kelce as well. Wisniewski was the Oakland Raiders’ starting center before moving on to the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. The Eagles do not have another center with as much value as Wisniewski and it’s hard to think of a scenario where he doesn’t earn a spot with the team. The backup center job is Wisniewski’s to lose.

Next: Right Guard
