While he may not have been the dominant anchor that he was during his prime years in Baltimore, Haloti Ngata was still an inside force on the Lions’ defensive line from 2015-17. He showed little regression in the first five games of last season before he suffered a torn biceps.
But the new Eagles defensive tackle, who signed a one-year contract on Thursday, is now one year older and coming off surgery. How much could the 34-year old have left at this point in his career?
“I feel I have a lot,” Ngata said last week.
If true, he could be an upgrade over Beau Allen, who left for the Buccaneers via free agency.
