With the ‘need for speed’ filled, the Eagles are aware that size matters

It took three years, but Doug Pederson was finally able to find a WR2 solution. It wasn’t Dorial-Green Beckham, nor was it Torrey Smith or Mike Wallace. Instead, it was the man who created the void, to begin with; DeSean Jackson. But with a receiver who averaged 18.9 yards per reception last year back in Philadelphia, the Eagles continue to build on another foundation.

Under-the-radar, the Eagles have been building an offense of giant playmakers…literally. Dallas Goedert was drafted in the second round last year and although it took a while for him to garner some playing time, the 6-5 tight end sent shockwaves through the NFL, with all four of his touchdowns coming on red zone opportunities.
