Prior to entering the NFL in 2000, Howie Roseman had no experience in professional football.
However, since becoming the general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles a decade later, he has completely reshaped his reputation within the league, writes Andrew Beaton for The Wall Street Journal.
During his tenure, he has developed into one of the savviest team builders in the NFL, as he has overseen numerous iterations of the Eagles. His ability to correctly forecast NFL evolutions, he has been able to build and rebuild winning teams.
“If everyone does the same thing, the league is set up that those teams are probably going to be in the middle of the pack,” Roseman said. “You’re going to have to be a little out-of-the-box to break through.”
While most teams with a sustained run of success often do it by building the team around their head coach and quarterback, Roseman and the Eagles haven’t.
This year’s team, which is about to compete in its second Super Bowl in three years, is much different from the team that won the Lombardi Trophy in 2018.
Featuring a premiere running back in an era there very few serve as a team’s bell cow, Roseman hopes to reach the mountaintop once again.
