    Lane Johnson remains among the NFL's most revered right tackles, despite entering his 12th season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

    The five-time Pro Bowler is set for another championship run, and will once again be the team's most valuable pass/run protector for the Eagles offense. His leadership has been crucial in years past, and he's the true offensive anchor against the opponent's best pass rusher. But how much longer can Johnson keep playing?

    Apparently, the 34-year-old reportedly feels confident in another two-to-three seasons.

    Jason Kelce retired over the offseason, so the need for Johnson and fellow top-five LT Jordan Mailata has never been higher.

    While head coach Nick Sirianni and OC Kellen Moore's offense is centered around Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, the team's success has proved to be contingent on the status of their best linemen.

    Johnson has only failed to appear in 12-plus regular season games in two seasons of his career, so it's become clear to fans just how quickly the team can fold without him on the field.

    Fortunately, Johnson isn't going anywhere anytime soon.Lane Johnson remains among the NFL's most revered right tackles, despite entering his 12th season with the Philadelphia Eagles.
