At this time last year, the tight end position was, arguably, the one area the Philadelphia Eagles had figured out on offense. Zach Ertz, if he played up to his potential and did it all season, was certain to become one of the best in the league at his position. Brent Celek, the longest tenured player on the team, was the backup. The belief was there’d be an interesting battle between Trey Burton and Billy Brown for the third spot.
We also figured that, when it was all said and done, Trey Burton would end up as the third tight end on the depth chart.
