When Andy Reid was the head coach of the Eagles, he seldom prioritized the tight end position. Sure, Brent Celek had some good seasons, including 112 catches for 971 yards and eight touchdowns in 2009; but much of the focus was on wide receivers like Terrell Owens and DeSean Jackson.

After his firing, Chip Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni made sure to have double-tight end sets. Celek and Zach Ertz, Ertz and Dallas Goedert, Goedert and Jack Stoll/Grant Calcaterra - a pair of big bodies who can contribute both as run-blockers and pass-catchers.
