Eagles offensive line named best of the year at NFL Honors

By: Jesse Larch, Sports Talk Philly editor 

With NFL Honors set to begin at 9 p.m. tonight, the honorees have begun to slip out. 

One of the honors that is making the rounds is the Built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Year award, which the Eagles' offensive line won:

The Eagles offensive line boasts two pro bowlers and two first-team all pros.

Right guard Brandon Brooks and right tackle Lane Johnson were both elected to this season's pro bowl while Johnson and center Jason Kelce were both named first team all-pros for the 2017 season. Essentially, the right side of the Eagles line is as good as it gets in the NFL. The left side consists of Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Stefen Wisniewski

Vaitai has played well in relief of future Hall of Famer Jason Peters after he suffered a torn ACL in the middle of the season. Wisniewski earned the left guard job after original starter Isaac Seumalo and backup guard Chance Warmack both fell out of favor, and Wisniewski took hold of the position. 

The Eagles' offense helped lead the Eagles to having the third best rushing offense in football this season.
