Ted Rath originally joined the Philadelphia Eagles as the team's director of sports performance during the 2020 offseason and was promoted to vice president of player performance in 2021.

Prior to coming to Philadelphia, Rath spent three seasons (2017-19) with the Los Angeles Rams. He began his stint with the Rams as the head strength and conditioning coach before being named director of strength training and performance in 2018.
