Tight End

  1. Zach Ertz
  2. Brent Celek
  3. Trey Burton

Few players on the Eagles have better chemistry with Carson Wentz than Zach Ertz. Ertz was a reliable security blanket for Wentz last season and it does not appear that will change in 2017.

Despite his age, 32-year-old Brent Celek remains an extremely important player for the Eagles. While he isn’t too much of a threat as a receiver anymore, he is a fantastic blocker and his presence makes a huge difference on running downs.

Trey Burton was one of the Eagles’ unsung heroes last season. In a limited role, Burton recorded career-highs with 37 receptions and 327 yards. He’ll once again have his fair share of opportunities next season.
