The Philadelphia Eagles retooled their roster this offseason but it could be a young third-year veteran that puts them over the top.
The Eagles have one of the top-4 tight ends in the NFL in Zach Ertz, but their most impressive athlete at the position is Dallas Goedert and according to Bleacher Report, he’s the Eagles secret weapon for the 2020 NFL season.
The Philadelphia Eagles used a first-round pick on former TCU wideout Jalen Reagor in April. Reagor—along with a healthy DeSean Jackson—should help provide the passing attack with a significant boost.
Another step forward could mean Goedert approaches the coveted 1,000-yard mark.
Now, Zach Ertz is still the star of the tight end show in Philadelphia and Carson Wentz’s go-to target. However, Goedert is coming into his own and offers the Eagles flexibility. Whether splitting out as a big receiver or performing in two-tight end sets, he will be one of head coach Doug Pederson’s chief chess pieces.
As a rookie, Goedert had 334 yards and four scores, then improved those numbers in his second season, increasing his output to 607 yards receiving and five huge touchdowns.
If Goedert can take the next step as a player, he could make things interesting for the Eagles who’ll have a decision to make on a Zach Ertz contract extension.
