Tight end Dallas Goedert, the first player the Eagles drafted last month, said the new teammate who has helped him the most is quarterback Carson Wentz.
They’ve known each other a while; Goedert starred at South Dakota State, Wentz at traditional rival North Dakota State. When Goedert was preparing for the NFL draft — in which he was selected 49th overall in the second round after the Eagles traded back — Wentz guided him to the agent group Wentz uses.
As their relationship deepened, Goedert tried kidding Wentz about the fact that the Jackrabbits have won the Dakota Marker trophy the past two seasons.
