Dallas Goedert isn’t getting the love he deserves from the NFL<\/p>\n
The problem was that most of Goedert’s touchdowns last year were from short yards. Philly loved getting the ball in Goedert’s hands with quick screen passes and fake Tush Push tosses to him when they were inside the five-yard line.<\/p>\n
At 31, Goedert is on the decline; he isn’t the same tight end the Eagles had back in 2021 and 2022. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t a threat in the passing game, though. Jalen Hurts liked getting the ball to Goedert to pick up a first down, with 33 of his 60 receptions last year going for first downs.<\/p>\n
This season, Goedert could end up playing a very different role in the Eagles’ offense. The wide receiver room is crowded with talent, but many of whom don’t have Hurts’ 100% trust yet. Goedert could end up getting more targets and yards just based on that.<\/p>\n
His numbers might also see a dip, depending on how second-round pick Eli Stowers<\/a> plays. The Eagles are looking to run more 12-personnel this season with two tight ends, giving Goedert and Stowers equal opportunity on the field together.<\/p>\n
