Dallas Goedert plays the tight end spot for the Philadelphia Eagles as of the 2024 NFL season. He was selected by the Eagles in the 2018 NFL draft as the 49th overall pick in the second round. Goedert also made one of the most exciting plays in the 2022-23 season when he caught a pass single-handed and scored a touchdown against the New York Giants in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. During the 2023 NFL season, Goedert had a career-high with 59 receptions, on 592 receiving yards, in 14 games played. As of January 2025, he has been placed on injured reserve and has recorded 345 receptions, 4,030 receiving yards, and 24 receiving touchdowns in his NFL career (via Pro Football Reference).
Goedert is a talented pass-catching tight end who can work on all three levels of the field. The three levels would be short (anything up to 10 yards), intermediate (between 10-20), or deep ball (over 20 yards). Goedert’s receiving production may never be up to the mark amongst other tight ends in the league but that is particularly because of how he is used by the Eagles. Goedert was a former walk-on at South Dakota State and was considered to be one of the best catch-passing tight ends in the 2018 draft class. Due to this, the Eagles drafted him thinking that he would be a dangerous weapon and a target for their then quarterback. However, unlike others, Goedert is looked at as the third or the fourth option in Philadelphia’s offense which has limited his touches per game.
