Dallas Goedert is one of the top tight ends in the NFL but his respect level seems to differ depending on which analyst you question.
Goedert is one of the best run-blocking tight ends in football and he’s quickly approaching Zach Ertz’s level of efficiency as a pass-catcher.
The rising tight end is preparing for a huge 2020 NFL season and just landed on Sports Illustrated’s list of the most underrated players in the league.
Dallas Goedert, TE
The Eagles are .25 yards per rush better when Goedert is on the field blocking and .13 yards better per passing play. NFL’s GSIS stats database lists all this minutiae and while it doesn’t seem significant, it is when the picture is broadened. The Eagles gained almost 100 more rushing yards in a season with Goedert. Add in that he caught 58 balls in 2019 and is a major threat in the red zone. Assuming Goedert continues to develop as a wide receiver, the Eagles may have something incredibly dangerous on their hands.
Goedert gives the Eagles option in regards to the organization’s contract discussions with Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz.
The pair works best together and with DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, and a host of other speedy weapons set to join the offense.
