Moro Ojomo caught fire late in the season last year, and the Philadelphia Eagles are hoping for more of the same in 2025.
Milton Williams was one of the biggest success stories for the Philadelphia Eagles and their recent draft history in recent years. The former third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech became one of the best interior defenders in the league in recent years.
Williams' four-year run with the Eagles was so strong that he received the third-largest free agent deal in league history this offseason with the New England Patriots.
That's ok, though. While Williams is certainly an important loss, the Eagles were prepared for his departure. And the rise of a former seventh-round pick shows just how comfortable Philly was in letting Williams walk.
Moro Ojomo wasn't the top tackle taken by the Eagles in the 2022 draft. But the work he has done over the last three years has shown that the team feels he is ready for a significant increase in snaps this season.
And PhillyVoice's Jimmy Kempski believes that Ojomo's development shows the Eagles won't miss a beat with the Texas product.
"Fangio said that he liked what he saw from Ojomo in 2024 both as a pass rusher and run defender, and Fangio doesn't give BS praise to the media like most coaches do," Kempski said. "He's already a three-down lineman, and yeah, certainly playing next to Carter won't hurt.
"I think he's got a chance to prove that he can do a lot of the things that Milton could do."
A big reason why the Eagles have been consistently great over the last few years is that they have been able to draft top young talent, and replace aging veterans who leave in free agency.
Ojomo might just be the next example of that moving forward.
