Offensive line

Philadelphia’s offensive line struggled at times in 2016. Jason Peters led the NFL in false start penalties and center Jason Kelce looked like a shell of his former Pro Bowl self. Lane Johnson‘s 10-game suspension didn’t do the Eagles any favors either.

Luckily, the Eagles have a solid foundation for the future of it’s offensive line. Rookie Isaac Seumalo showed phenomenal versatility in his first NFL season, taking snaps at left tackle, left guard, right guard and right tackle. Fellow first-year pro Halapoulivaati Vaitai also showed flashes of potential despite a horrific debut against the Washington Redskins in Week 6.

Even though the offensive line isn’t necessarily a dire need, it is certainly an area the Eagles should continue to stock with young talent during the offseason.
