Last season’s Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles have been the model of consistency for the past 15 seasons, and it doesn’t look like they’re slowing down.

Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Eagles, Howie Roseman has been in the organization for 25 years, building his way up the corporate ladder. And throughout that time, a lot of lessons were learned.

From starting as an intern in 2000, he received his first general manager role within the organization in 2010, and immediately went to the NFC Championship. 

But over time, there were some brutal mistakes.

From signing Nnamdi Asomugha and Byron Maxwell to lucrative contracts, to drafting Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson, to hiring Chip Kelly as the head coach, it just went to show that every man is mortal.

But what’s turned Roseman into one of the best executives in the NFL was his ability to learn from those mistakes. Since then, he’s been able to draft superbly, find supreme talent, get tremendous value on a player, get ahead of the curve before that talent breaks out, and put trust into the right people.

Two Super Bowl wins later, and you see why he’s remained so dominant.

Recently, his draft record shows as follows:  DeVonta Smith, Jalen Hurts, Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Jalen Carter, Jihaad Campbell, Andrew Mukuba, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, Nakobe Dean, the list goes on and on.

Not only that, he took a calculated risk on Saquon Barkley, who won the NFL MVP award, and signed Zack Baun, the backup linebacker who went from backup to All-Pro the second he stepped foot in the Eagles facilities.

The Athletic did an executive poll where it interviewed 29 different executives in the NFL, and who they thought had the best front office in the league.

Eleven of those executives said that the Eagles had the best, seven placed it in second, and then three each voted them to be in third and fifth.

“The best front offices operate with no fear, and thinking about both long-term and short-term,” one NFC executive told Jeff Howe of The Athletic. “You get that by having tenure and really the ultimate respect of ownership, so that you know you can take a swing and miss. Howie has had way more hits than misses, but the misses don’t make him rethink swinging again.”

And that person isn’t wrong. A lot of general managers have a tendency to overthink after making a poor move. But Roseman doesn’t seem to care, because he’s confident in his ability to build a Super Bowl contending team.

Two rings later, and a currently undefeated season, Roseman just may continue to live up to the title his peers gave him.
