2017 was a great year for the tight end position in Philadelphia. After years of steady production, Zach Ertz had somewhat of a breakout when he set a career high in touchdowns and generally played with a certain grit that a lot of Eagles fans had been waiting for. Ertz went from nice complementary piece in the passing game to being the centerpiece this season, leading the team in receptions by 17 catches.
In addition to Ertz’ Pro Bowl season, the Eagles got tremendous play out of Trey Burton. Burton, who made it onto the team as an undrafted free agent a few years ago; caught five touchdowns on only 30 targets.
