30 Most Important Eagles of 2025: No. 30 Kendall Lamm
Every day from now until the start of training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Eagles for the 2025 season.
The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for Super Bowl defense, which features plenty of new and returning faces within the organization. Several players, coaches, and front-office members are crucial to the team's success this season.
Every day from now until the start of training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Eagles for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025, and tackle the most significant question facing them this year.
First up is Kendall Lamm, a veteran offensive tackle who'll have the role of being the immediate backup for Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson.
Background
Position: Offensive Tackle
Age: 33
Experience: 11-year vet
2025 cap hit: $1,305,000
2024 recap
According to Pro Football Focus, in the 2024 season, Lamm ranked first among tackles with zero sacks allowed and 10th among tackles with a pass-blocking grade of 83.1.
2025 outlook
The Eagles shored up the depth along the offensive line with the addition of Lamm. Lamm played 15 games for the Dolphins in 2024 and is entering his 11th year in the league. The 6-foot-5, 308-pound tackle started seven games in 2024 and is the front-runner for the swing tackle position.
Biggest question: Can Hamm hold off Myles Hinton?
Lamm was signed by the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2015. He spent four seasons in Houston before playing for the Browns in 2019 and 2020. After a one-year stint with the Titans in 2021, Lamm joined the Dolphins in 2022, where he has spent the last three seasons, playing 33 games. Lamm will compete with Darian Kinnard, Myles Hinton, and Laekin Vakalahi for the backup offensive tackle spot.

'Lightning Quick' USC Talent Earns Massive Pre-NFL Draft Title
'Lightning Quick' USC Talent Earns Massive Pre-NFL Draft Title originally appeared on Athlon Sports. USC loaded up on talent for the 2026 recruiting class. But will the Trojans field a strong '26 NFL Draft group? Advertisement USC already has Ja'Kobi Lane hailed as the top wide receiver for the next class. Lane has competition -- in the form of a teammate of his. Makai Lemon earned his own No. 1 WR label ahead of the next draft. Lemon rises as Pro Football Focus's top wideout for the 2026 rookie class. Trevor Sikkema of PFF plastered the top label for Lemon. What are the traits that convinced the PFF analyst to place Lemon at the top of the PFF wideout board? Sep 7, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; USC Trojans wide receiver Makai Lemon (6) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Utah State Aggies during the second quarter at United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Jonathan Hui-Imagn ImagesJonathan Hui-Imagn Images "At 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, Lemon is on the smaller side. I have him categorized as a slot receiver, not just because he played 354 snaps in the slot compared to just 54 out wide in 2024, but also due to how he wins and his strengths," Sikkema explained. Advertisement But then Sikkema explained what separates Lemon for other wideouts. "Lemon is lightning quick," Sikkema said. "He has short strides but moves his legs like pistons in an engine, firing out of his stance to eat up cushion in coverage or getting vertical before defenders can adjust." Sikkema concluded how Lemon brings strong fundamentals for the WR spot. "He is also a nuanced and technical route runner, despite being just a true junior entering 2025," he wrote. "He knows how to set up defenders against their leverage and can find soft spots against zone by tempo-ing his speed at different points in his route." Advertisement Lemon or Lane could become USC's second first round WR in a span of three years. Jordan Addison represents the school's last day one selection at the position.

Isaiya Katoa handed State of Origin honour as NSW get good news on injury front
Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa will reportedly be named in the extended squad for NSW for State of Origin 3 on Sunday night, a huge reward for his brilliant form in 2025. The is reporting that Katoa will be part of Laurie Daley's 20-player squad when it's named later on Sunday. The 21-year-old is little chance to play in the decider unless there's a late injury disaster, but Daley is said to be keen on getting him into camp and the Origin environment with an eye to the future. Katoa is viewed as Nathan Cleary's halfback successor for NSW, and could have a long career in the sky blue jersey. The youngster had another stellar game on Saturday night as the Dolphins thrashed the Rabbitohs 50-28, laying on three try assists and having a hand in everything. He's shown he wouldn't be overawed if called upon to play Origin in the near future. And while he's a Blue in waiting, he recently admitted he's spent plenty if time watching video of Queensland's greatest spine combinations. The Dolphins have cracked 50 points in three of their last four games, as well as a 44-8 hiding of the ladder-leading Bulldogs. "We have a spine meeting where our nine, six, seven and one come together," Katoa said after his man-of-the-match display against the Dragons in Round 14. "Some of the clips we look at are Cameron Smith, JT (Johnathan Thurston), Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater all connecting (for the Maroons). "The more they connected the more success their team had. We are trying to build that into our own games and still try to play to our individual strengths. It is a work in progress for us." Meanwhile, Jarome Luai has been cleared to take his place in the halves alongside Cleary for Game 3 in Sydney. Luai was ruled out of the Wests Tigers' loss to Manly on Friday night after a boil on his chest became infected. It required a stint in hospital, but he's no chance of missing the Origin decider. The Blues are reportedly happy to bring Luai into camp even if he's not ready to train, and would be fine with him not taking to the field in their first session on Wednesday. Tigers coach Benji Marshall painted an optimistic picture over Luai's health on Friday night, believing he could have played if the game was later in the weekend. "I am pretty sure he will be OK for NSW if they pick him," Marshall said. "He got an infection yesterday and didn't come to training. He said he was going to be all right to play. And then he went to hospital and had fevers and the infection got a lot worse. If it was another 24 or 48 hours Jarome would have been right to play. But he wasn't good for today." RELATED: Cobbo twist as Dolphins player makes immediate move to Roosters Stunning development for Billy Slater and family before Origin 3 Brian To'o's status is still up in the air after he picked up a knee injury on Thursday night, while Cleary got through the game unscathed despite still not goal-kicking due to a groin issue. For the Maroons, Valentine Holmes has been cleared of injury and will be available for the decider, despite picking up a cork to the leg in the Dragons' win on Saturday night. He didn't take the last two shots at goal, sending a scare through Billy Slater and Queensland officials.

NFL Insider Uses Josh Allen Blueprint as Example for NY Giants
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Do the New York Giants have a potential Josh Allen situation on their hands? One prominent NFL Insider used the Buffalo Bills quarterback as an example for the Giants as they enter a critical season. New York wants to compete at the highest level as early as this season. Despite missing the playoffs once again last year, the Giants made some key changes, notably at the quarterback position. For the year, they signed Russell Wilson and added the veteran backup, Jameis Winston. But the future is also in New York. Jaxson Dart, the first-round pick out of Ole Miss, joined the Giants' organization to be the quarterback of the future. While "future" is the keyword here, not many outside of the franchise are buying into the idea that Wilson is going to start and finish the year as the Giants' starting QB. Just like how Nathan Peterman didn't start and finish the season under center with the Buffalo Bills in 2018. ESPN's Adam Schefter made it clear that the two situations are not the same. At the time, Peterman was far from proven as a quarterback in the NFL and didn't have much more experience than the rookie Josh Allen at the time. It was easy to pull Peterman, who had a short leash. Since key members of the Giants' organization were around for the start of the Allen era in Buffalo, it's worth considering that Brian Daboll's past experience could play a key part in getting Dart on the field quicker than anticipated. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills celebrates a first down during the fourth quarter in the game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on December 24, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois.

Photo by"The Giants would like to be as patient as they can with their rookie first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart, and go with Russell Wilson, but, let's keep in mind that once before, Brian Daboll and the Giants' General Manager Joe Schoen was in Buffalo and the plan there was to be very patient with Josh Allen, and he was called on to start a lot sooner than anybody expected," Schefter explained. "We're not saying that Jaxson Dart is Josh Allen. We're just saying that they can have a plan to go with Russell Wilson. Plans sometimes change. That will depend on Russell Wilson, how well he plays, how much this team wins, and how patient this whole entire organization can be." To Wilson's credit in this situation, he has a ton of past experience. While there is a lot of skepticism surrounding his ability to uplift an offense to be a Super Bowl-contending unit at this stage in his career, the Giants are going in with an open mind and banking on the idea that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank. If the Giants see early on that's not the case, then the plans could change. For the time being, New York wants Dart to learn under Wilson while aiming to compete in a tough NFC East in 2025.
