“Too Slow, Too Raw”? Moro Ojomo Shreds the Doubt and the Weight in Comeback Bid for Eagles

Last year, he was barely a blip on the radar. Now? Moro Ojomo is turning heads — and turning the narrative upside down.

Once dismissed as “too raw” and “too slow” to crack a stacked Eagles defensive front, Ojomo spent much of 2024 buried on the depth chart. Ten games. Twelve tackles. An afterthought behind rising star Jalen Carter.

But that’s yesterday’s story.

This offseason, the 6’3” lineman dropped 25 pounds, trimmed down to a leaner, quicker 270, and walked into OTAs with a new fire — and a new burst. And now? He’s not just fighting for snaps. He’s coming for Carter’s reps.

“They said I wasn’t built to pressure elite quarterbacks. So I rebuilt myself. I’m lighter, faster, sharper — and I’m not backing down.”
— Moro Ojomo

Insiders say his first step is night-and-day. Coaches have taken notice. And whispers around camp say the “depth behind Carter” discussion just got a lot more interesting.

Philadelphia’s D-line thrives on chaos — and Ojomo, newly explosive and fueled by doubt, is adding a dangerous wrinkle to an already ferocious unit. His transformation isn’t just physical — it’s psychological. The man who once blended into the background is now chasing down quarterbacks like he’s chasing redemption.

Training camp battles are heating up, and Ojomo’s no longer just filling space. He’s demanding space.

Whether he wins a starting role or becomes a rotation disruptor, one thing is clear: Moro Ojomo didn’t fold when counted out — he leveled up.

The comeback season everyone doubted? It might just be the one Philly never forgets.
