Vic Fangio Says Young Eagles Defender “Could Be a Nightmare” for NFL Offenses

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had one name on his mind when asked about rising talent on the defensive line.

Speaking with reporters during training camp, Fangio made it clear he’s optimistic about what the third-year defensive tackle brings to the table this season.

“He’s stronger, smarter, and more explosive than last year. If he keeps this up, he’s going to be a nightmare for offenses across the league,” Fangio said.

Moro Ojomo began to turn heads late last season, earning more snaps down the stretch and recording his first career sack in the divisional playoff game against the Rams. Though not yet a household name, his athleticism, raw strength, and high motor have started to draw attention from inside the building.

With Milton Williams now in New England, Ojomo has a prime opportunity to cement himself in the Eagles' defensive rotation. Coaches believe he can be a disruptive presence on early downs and develop into a true interior anchor as the season progresses.

Fangio’s praise isn’t handed out lightly — and with the veteran DC running the defense, a strong camp from Ojomo could mean a much bigger role in 2025.

For now, Ojomo is doing exactly what’s asked of him: showing up, locking in, and earning trust. And based on Fangio’s words, he’s on the right path.
