Eagles' Johnson says he slept at team facility after Pro Bowl snub
It's safe to say Lane Johnson wasn't happy about not being named to the 2018 Pro Bowl roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle said he drove to the team's practice facility in the middle of the night and slept there after bids were announced.
"Slept up there (at the NovaCare Complex), I'm not joking," Johnson told The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia following the Eagles' 32-30 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. "I swear to God. I slept in the locker room. Woke up around 7:30 to get breakfast and go to meetings."
"I was pissed off. I couldn't sleep," he continued. "I don't know. Call me psycho. I got a lot of pride. So it really pissed me off ... I think the custodian staff went home. It was just me. I'm not making this s--- up. I got my issues. So it is what it is."
A Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro last year, Johnson missed the cut in 2018 in favor of Tyron Smith, Terron Armstead, and Trent Williams. He's started all 15 games for Philadelphia at right tackle this season.
