1. Could Zach Ertz Move Into Elite Company?
New England’s Rob Gronkowski and Seattle’s Jimmy Graham are head and shoulders above every other tight end in the NFL when it comes to being dynamic playmakers. Gronkowski led all NFL tight ends in receiving yards in 2014 with 1,124, and Graham wasn’t too far behind with 889 yards. Both players have used their size and athleticism to bully defenders and become go-to targets in their respective offenses.
Now, the question on Eagles fans’ minds becomes, "Is Zach Ertz next?"
The 35th overall pick in 2013, Ertz took a huge step forward in his second NFL season, catching 58 passes for 702 yards in 2014, up from 469 yards in his rookie season.
