Dallas Goedert feeling comfortable in his own skin as Jalen Hurts makes the Eagles tight end feel valued - Inquirer
In the aftermath of the Super Bowl, Dallas Goedert didn’t know if he had a future in Philadelphia. But he knew he had a vote of confidence from Jalen Hurts. The 30-year-old tight end spent the first couple months of the offseason in contract negotiations with the Eagles, as the impending final year of his deal contained no guaranteed money. Goedert called the uncertainty “stressful” and chose to spend time around friends and family in his hometown, Britton, S.D. He also received moral support from his quarterback. Goedert said that Hurts reached out to him and offered him words of validation while his future as an Eagle hung in the balance. “He didn’t really recruit me back, but he made me feel like I was an important part of the team,” Goedert told The Inquirer on Tuesday. “I was important to him, and that was obviously a really good feeling.”
The Relationship Eagles’ Dallas Goedert Didn’t Want to Walk Away From - SI
Part of that feeling contributing to Goedert’s return that hasn’t gotten much publicity is his position coach, Jason Michael, one of the better tight end mentors in the NFL, and someone Goedert has grown close to since Michael arrived with head coach Nick Sirianni in 2021. “I feel like he’s had a really big impact in my career,” Goedert told Eagles On SI on Tuesday when asked about Michael. “He came the start of my fourth year, and he gave me a lot of confidence in myself. He asked me a lot of questions of why I was doing stuff, why I wasn’t doing stuff. And then over the last four years, we’ve been able to grow a lot but he’s definitely helped me improve as a tight end, improve as a person.
Is Philadelphia capable of appreciating a team as good as the Eagles? - BGN
This is why we make lists. It’s why we rank players. It’s why there is needless debate over where Jalen Hurts ranks among Philly athletes and/or NFL QBs. All our lives we dreamed of having a star QB good enough to play his best when it mattered most. Ron Jaworski couldn’t do it. Randall Cunningham couldn’t, either. Neither could Donovan McNabb or Wentz. Eagles fans now have what we’ve always wanted. Our wishes were granted. So why do we feel the need to argue about the level of greatness of the unquestioned franchise quarterback? It’s possible we may be incapable of appreciating a team as great as the Eagles.
