One NFC executive believes that Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, is not as good as advertised.
The executive made the remarks to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who polled front-office personnel, coaches and scouts on the league's top offensive tackles. There was a difference in opinion on Johnson, who ranked fourth overall.
"Premier player," an AFC scout told Fowler. "Incredibly gifted athlete with force."
Fowler then wrote: "But one NFC exec believes Johnson is overhyped and plays in a run-pass-option offense that helps him limit sacks."
The NFC executive added: "He gets a lot of credit for being noisy and playing on a good team.
