Each and every week, Zach Ertz is able to put on his Eagles jersey and compete with his teammates. For the tight end, football is far more than his job. It’s the game he loves, what he’s most passionate about.
Ertz has never lost sight of how fortunate he is to play, a privilege he attributes to the men and women of the armed forces. They protect the freedom of Americans on a daily basis, and while some may idolize Ertz for his heroics on the field, he believes those in the military are the true heroes.
