Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo continues to win and this latest round of third down stats proves it even more.
Per TruMedia, Ojomo ranks among the top tier of defensive tackles on third down this season. His 16 hurries are the most among his position group, with 20 pressures, and a 17.2% pressure rate, both third among defensive tackles.
Ojomo is showing Eagles fans he's for real in 2025
Ojomo has been with the Eagles since 2023 as a seventh-round pick out of the University of Texas. After serving as a reserve-rotational piece his first two seasons, Ojomo has provided more than the expected value for the Eagles this season.
He was thrown into the spotlight after the Eagles, after Milton Williams leveraged his 2024 season into a $100 million-plus contract with the Patriots. Ojomo has developed into one of the key pieces in the Eagles' defensive line room, especially before the arrival of Brandon Graham and Jaelan Phillips.
Ojomo, in 14 games, has recorded five sacks, 31 tackles, five tackles for loss, and 10 quarterback hits, all of which are career highs this season. He's provided a stabilizing force for the Eagles, especially with Jalen Carter dealing with injury. Ojomo's play has not only improved the Eagles' front seven but also given general manager Howie Roseman some flexibility.
With Jordan Davis on his fifth-year option in 2026, and Jalen Carter beginning his contract negotiations this offseason, Ojomo has maximized his dollar-to-play value due to his status as a seventh-round pick on a rookie deal. Ojomo is earning only $1,038,820 this season and is scheduled to earn $1,145,000 in 2026. With Ojomo's output this season, he may be on pace for a Milton Williams-like contract in 2026, especially if he earns a Pro Bowl and a strong playoff showing.

Ojomo's output this season could go either way for his future in Philadelphia. If the Eagles believe he is a key piece for the future at a reasonable pay rate, Philadelphia could be comfortable letting Carter or Davis walk. If not, the team may hope that rookie Ty Robinson could follow in the footsteps of Williams and Ojomo by providing high value at a low dollar cost, supplementing their defense of first picks and paychecks.
