Philadelphia Eagles lineman shows off amazing dunking skills (video)

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson showed his basketball skills with a sick dunk that was caught on video.

Across the NFL, there are plenty of players who excelled in other sports at some point in time (whether it be high school or college). Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson showed recently that he has the skills to help out the Sixers on the basketball court if needed.

Following an offseason workout this week, Johnson decided to have some fun on the hardwood and show that the big man can get up and slam the ball home. Not only did Johnson show that he has ups, but also he can add a little fun and act like he’s in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest:

Johnson didn’t play basketball during his time at Oklahoma, but at 317 pounds he showed that nothing will keep him from dunking the ball home with authority. Before settling on the offensive line with the Sooners, Johnson had previously been a defensive lineman and tight end (as well as playing quarterback in both high school and at the JuCo level), so he has plenty of range.

Johnson will have his face glued to the television this weekend as the Sooners take on Villanova in one of the two Final Four games this weekend in Houston. A win would advance them to the national championship game against either North Carolina or Syracuse.
