Training camp is FINALLY underway in the NFL, and expectations are always at their highest this time of year. This certainly applies for the Philadelphia Eagles as a team, featuring a roster loaded with talent.
On the NFL Network’s annual Top 100 Players countdown, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz made an early appearance. He checked in at number 96. His center, Jason Kelce, finally made the list, making an appearance at 72. Kelce already has a reputation around the league as arguably the best at his position with the Philadelphia faithful hoping Wentz can regain his 2017 form to be in the discussion of the best at his. Fletcher Cox was revealed as the number 28 ranked player, cementing his reputation as maybe the best interior lineman in football not named Aaron Donald. Zach Ertz was voted in as well. He’s the 40th-ranked player in the NFL by his peers.
That announcement came via the NFL Network’s countdown.
Ertz should continue his campaign as the top tight end in the league in 2019.
A season ago, he was in the discussion as one of the best, but there are seemingly obstacles and great talents in other jerseys that are preventing him from taking the crown. Let’s take a look at the reasons why he may fly to the top of the tight end power rankings in 2019.
