It’s a big season for ‘Big V’, whose transition inside is vital for the Eagles

The Eagles offensive line is in a unique situation heading into 2019. All five starters from their Super Bowl-winning season two years ago are still on the team now, and even key depth pieces too. But one starter from that incredible Super Bowl win is now looking for a new lease of life.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai is now entering his fourth year in the NFL and unlike most fifth-round selections, his journey has seen him rack up 39 appearances in that time frame, starting on both sides of the bookshelf in the process. While there were some impressive highs, there were also worrying lows and heading into 2019, Vaitai’s circumstance changed massively.
