Expect Dallas Goedert to continue to create magic for the Eagles AFTER the catch in 2022.
Each year, we’ve seen improvement from Number 88. His yards-per-reception total has improved every year. During the 2021-2022 NFL season, he notched an impressive 10.9 yards per target and 14.8 yards per touch. Those are excellent numbers for a tight end.
Goedert has never exceeded five receiving touchdowns in his first four seasons, and his career-high came in 2019. If Hurts takes another step in his development, Goedert could have a huge year and post huge numbers in the coming campaign.
Can we use the names Goedert and Travis Kelce in the same sentence? Why not? Like Kelce, Goedert has been a monster with the ball in his hands after the catch. Try 386 yards after completion and 6.9 yards on average per catch after reception. Throw on some Dallas Goedert highlights, and you will see a lot of YAC (yards after catch). You love to see that from your tight end.
In Dallas Goedert, it’s easy to see a reliable target for a continually-improving Jalen Hurts, one that could provide QB1 with a security blanket. Goedert can churn out tough yards after the catch, and he’s shown that versus star cornerbacks like Trevon Diggs.
