Ranking Every Single Eagles Lineman Who Played at Least One Snap for Jeff Stoutland
Big Eagles news on Wednesday night when offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland announced that he was no longer going to be coaching the Birds.
There’s been some mixed reporting about his future, perhaps a different role in the organization, but he’s definitely not going to be coaching the O line moving forward. Coincidentally, Jeff McLane reported last week that Stoutland’s run game coordinator duties were taken away from him in 2025, so there may be more to the story that we learn in the coming days.
Regardless, the position will flip to a new coach for the first time in more than a decade.
Stoutland joined in 2013 for Chip Kelly’s first year and stayed with the Eagles through three head coaches. He won Super Bowls 52 and 59 and went to Super Bowl 57, which should have be a third Lombardi Trophy, but alas.
Along the way, he coached up some all-time Birds greats, putting together consistent units that were oftentimes top three or top five league-wide. As run game coordinator, he oversaw Saquon Barkley’s insane 2024 season, a key coaching figure in the most dominant running attack the Birds have ever put on the field.
There are 41 lineman who played at least one regular or postseason snap under Stout, and we ranked them like this:
- Jason Kelce – Seven Pro Bowls, six All-Pro honors, won Super Bowl 52 and played in Super Bowl 57. Not just the best lineman from this era, but one of the greatest Eagles offensive linemen of all time. Kelce has always credited Stout with his NFL success and been extremely complimentary.
- Lane Johnson – The only guy on this list to win both Super Bowl 52 and Super Bowl 59. Lane was a 2013 draft pick and has only had one offensive line coach during his entire pro career. Hopefully he’s got another year or two in him, because the Birds don’t have the right tackle of the future on the current roster.
- Jason Peters – Stoutland had Peters from age 31 to 38, when he went to four Pro Bowls and was named an All-Pro at left tackle. In their first season together, Peters played all 16 games in what may have been his best individual year ever.
- Jordan Mailata – A rugby player and developmental project who became a Super Bowl champion. A franchise left tackle who stepped in after Peters moved on. Mailata is probably Stoutland’s #1 success story considering the guy hadn’t played a down of football before the Birds got their hands on him.
- Landon Dickerson – Played in Super Bowls 57 and 59, stepped in at left guard in 2021 and has started 77 games in five seasons, plus 10 in the playoffs. Already a 3x Pro Bowl player at age 27.
- Brandon Brooks – Nothing but quality from day one, he was the starting right guard in SB 52 and went to three straight Pro Bowls between 2017 and 2019.
- Evan Mathis – One of the players Stoutland inherited from the Andy Reid era, Mathis was good in 2011 and 2012 but became a Pro Bowl player in 2013 and 2014 in his early 30s.
- Mekhi Becton – I put Becton a little higher on the list simply for the incredible job he did bulldozing fools on the right side during Saquon’s historic season. You can’t downplay how good he was in 2024.
- Cam Jurgens – Jurgens had a down year in 2025 and was banged up, but he was part of the best offensive line of all time in 2024 and is a 2x Pro Bowl player and qualified heir to the Kelce throne.
- Isaac Seumalo – Began as a solid Eagles backup and then started 45 games in his final four seasons, culminating with a Super Bowl appearance.
- Stefen Wisniewski – Wis was slightly underrated back in the day, splitting time with Chance Warmack at left guard and then taking control of the starting job for all three playoff games en route to a ring.
- Halapoulivaati Vaitai – Big V did a great job filling in for the injured Jason Peters in 2017. He was the starting left tackle on the first Eagles team to win a Lombardi Trophy. A good trivia question for future quizzo nights.
- Todd Herremans – Todd was near the end of his career when Stoutland came aboard, but he started all 16 games on the 2013 team that went 10-6 and made the playoffs. He was 31 years old at the time.
- Tyler Steen – Hopefully the future at right guard, he was steady on a banged-up 2025 offensive line that couldn’t replicate what it did the season prior.
- Fred Johnson – Fred did a good job backing up Lane Johnson and coming in for jumbo packages to run over defenders. Who knows how bad it would have been if the Birds didn’t bring him back this past season.
- Allen Barbre – The thing I remember most about Barbre is that nobody could pronounce his name properly. Heard a lot of “BAR-BRAY” out there. He started during Chip’s last year and Doug’s first year, neither of which was a memorable season.
- Dennis Kelly – Kelly’s Eagles tenure was mostly forgettable, but he became a five-year regular in Tennessee and went on to have a nice NFL career that spanned about a decade.
- Jack Driscoll – A fourth-round depth lineman who had some decent moments.
- Sua Opeta – Gave the Birds some stable guard play on the right side in 2023 when Jurgens was doing that out-of-position gap year before Jason Kelce retired.
- Nate Herbig – Herbig bridged the gap at right guard in 2020 and 2021.
- Chance Warmack – Was part of that somewhat strange platoon with Wisniewski in 2017, but goes into the history books as a Super Bowl winner.
- Matt Tobin – Considering that he was undrafted, the Birds getting 57 appearances out of him isn’t bad.
- Brett Toth – Brett’s a good depth piece who can play multiple spots on the line in a pinch.
- Matt Pryor – A depth guy now, but he did start 10 games at left tackle in 2020.
- Andrew Gardner – Gardner was a 6th rounder who came here late in his career and started eight games at right guard in 2014.
- Andre Dillard – A rare bust on the offensive line. Dillard spent 2025 on the Niners’ practice squad. We don’t talk about Dillard.
- David Molk – Backup center. Started four games in 2014 when Kelce was out with an injury. Tore his biceps in 2015 and called it a career early.
- Le’Raven Clark – Quoth Le’Raven, Nevermore.
- Nick Gates – No clue how Gates played without gloves, but he gets ranked inside the top 30 because of it.
- Drew Kendall – The Birds’ 5th round pick last year, he played 89 snaps and started the season finale with the backups.
- Darian Kinnard – Played 71 snaps on the 2024 team and got himself a Super Bowl ring.
- Cameron Williams – The Birds’ 6th round pick in 2025, he played 51 snaps in the regular season finale.
- Trevor Keegan – A 2024 5th round pick, Keegan played 35 snaps in the season finale and won a ring.
- Jack Anderson – A 7th rounder who played in two games for the 2021 Birds.
- Kayode Awosika – Allegedly played 43 snaps for the 2021 team, all of them coming in the 51-26 Week 17 loss to Dallas.
- Will Beatty – Spent his entire career with the Giants before playing 40 snaps during his only Eagles season, the lone appearance coming in that epic 6-0 loss to the Cowboys. Still got himself a ring though.
- Wade Smith – A Pro Bowl guard in Houston, he played his final season in Philadelphia (2014) and appeared in five games, earning 18 offensive snaps and 28 special teams snaps.
- Casey Tucker – Tucker had four separate stints with the Eagles and finally got to play in an NFL game at the start of 2022, logging 12 snaps against Dallas.
- Julian Vandervelde – A depth guard who got mostly special teams snaps during the Chip era.
- Luke Juriga – Backup center. Played 14 offensive snaps in 2020 and 34 special teams snaps.
- Jamon Brown – Dead last for obvious reasons. The play when he stopped to fix his glove while Carson Wentz was running for his life will go down in the history books.
Admittedly, it got a little dicey after 30. There are some fringe guys who just got in for a few snaps, or played while the starters rested in weeks 17 or 18. But that top 15 is as good as it gets for an NFL position coach. He’s the dean of Stoutland University and will probably go down as the best non-coordinator position coach in Eagles franchise history.
Thanks for everything, Stout.
