When you are on the same Offensive Line as Jason Kelce, you fall easily into the shadows.  As Kelce’s teammate, Johnson won a Super Bowl, went to five Pro Bowls (2017-19 & 2022-23), and was twice a First Team All-Pro, cementing him as one of the top Tackles in Football.  Following Kelce’s retirement in 2023, Johnson accomplished something that Kelce could not do: win a second Super Bowl.  That occurred last season, when Johnson added Pro Bowl number six.  How much does Johnson’s legacy increase if Philadelphia wins it all again this year?

When you face the San Francisco 49ers (especially over the last few seasons), opposing offenses know that there is a quick-as-a-cat Middle Linebacker named Fred Warner who will make yardage up the middle a lot harder. 

As one of the man-to-man interior forces in football, Warner is cruising to an All-Decade Selection, is on a run of three straight First Team All-Pros, and is a possible Defensive Player of the Year.  Producing 897 Tackles over his seven seasons, Warner’s knack for the big play has played a large part in San Francisco’s playoff success since he arrived.  He has yet to miss a game, and if he remains healthy, his Hall of Fame candidacy will increase exponentially on an annual basis.

The fanbase of the Tennessee Titans is still shaking its head at the trade of A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles.

A Pro Bowl Selection in 2020, Brown was dealt to Philadelphia, and the Eagles made the correct bet, as in the three years he has been in the City of Brotherly Love, he has been named a Second Team All-Pro in all three.  The primary air weapon of Jalen Hurts, Brown had back-to-back 1,400-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023, and last year, he was a massive part of the Eagles' Super Bowl win.

A star on top contender, Brown might be in the shadow of other wideouts, but is on track for a Canton-worthy career.

Chubb emerged as the top rusher for an improving Browns offense and was a perennial Pro Bowl Selection from 2019 to 2022.  He likely would have been again last year, but he tore his ACL in Week 2 and is not expected back until October.  Chubb would return, but he has not been close to what he was.  He begins 2025 with the Houston Texans, and his peak seems like a long time ago.
