NFL: Jordan Mailata paid credit to his team for not listening to anything from the outside, while Pat Mahomes also credited the team effort.
Leadership means different things to different people, and in the case of Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata, it comes in many different forms.Sometimes you simply can’t miss it, like the sight of Mailata’s 6-foot-8, 365-pound frame driving defenders off the ball and into the turf.
Calling out the media, whether it was over suggestions last season that Nick Sirianni had lost the locker room or, even more recently, questions about Hurts’ standing as a quarterback. Now he himself is one of the main attractions. But early in his career, Mailata appeared to be heading on a different trajectory, and it makes the position he is in now all the more remarkable.Mailata may now be one of the best players in the NFL at his position yet just five years ago, he was on the brink of being cut.
“He talks about making a name for himself and he wants to do that. Well, I think when you look back at it, he really has made a name for himself.
Earlier in the year, when he was quizzed about reported drama before Hurts and star receiver A.J. Brown, Mailata swiftly told the media “we are moving on”.Even at the start of the season, when the Eagles went 2-2 and pressure continued to build on Nick Sirianni after an early playoffs exit the year prior, Mailata was again not afraid to shy away from taking a strong stance in defence of his coach.
“I think with him spending so much time with Kelce, he got to see the type of leadership style that he had... Jordan has stepped up and he’s become that guy.” That’s not the only way Mailata is helping carry on Kelce’s legacy either. In one minicamp session during Mailata’s second season, he was pulled aside by Kelce and Lane Johnson to discuss angles and proper technique after being moved to the right side of the line.
