NFL defenses may be trying to find even more ways to try to slow down Zach Ertz in 2019. The Philadelphia Eagles tight end had a phenomenal 2018 season but is projected to have another impressive campaign this year.
According to Ertz himself, he feels the “best he's ever had in his entire NFL career“. The Eagles tight end is heading into his seventh season in the NFL after having his best season in 2018.
In 2018, Ertz racked up 116 catches, 1,163 yards, and eight touchdowns (all career-highs). Defenses were unable to come up with an answer for him and he could be even better in the upcoming season.
Before 2018, Ertz missed a few games in the previous few seasons due to injuries. Although, last season, he was able to start in all 16 games in the regular season and both of the Eagles playoff games.
The Pro Bowl tight end is hoping to remain healthy for his second-straight season with Philadelphia. Furthermore, the Eagles are going to need him to produce at a high-level again with Carson Wentz returning from injury this season.
Ertz has made himself into one of the best tight ends in the entire league and is continuing to get better this offseason. There isn't much room for improvement for the dynamic tight end but if he improves at all he could cement himself as the best at his position.
Wentz and Ertz have always had a nice rapport and if both can stay healthy they could become one of the most dangerous duos in the NFL. The 2019 season could be another impressive showing from Ertz—who is feeling the best he's ever felt in his NFL career this offseason.
