ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recently ranked the top 10 tight ends in the NFL, and the Eagles Dallas Goedert landed outside the top 5, at No. 6 on the list.
Goedert was the most consistent vote-getter in the next tier of tight ends, appearing on nearly 80% of the ballots.
He is considered versatile for his ability to run routes with nuance and burst; flex into different positions, such as slot tight end or backside receiver; and hold up as a blocker in the running game.
“He’s kind of a sleeper to me,” an AFC personnel evaluator said.
“Never gets huge media praise, but he’s a big, smooth athlete who’s good in both phases of the game — can stretch the seams and also has enough athletic ability to run the route tree.”
