Six months have passed since Dallas Goedert hauled one in versus the Green Bay Packers and stiff-armed his way into the end zone. It still feels like that wasn’t that long ago. Since then, he has enjoyed a roller-coaster ride. He helped the Philadelphia Eagles raise a Lombardi Trophy. Then, elation turned into uncertainty. His offseason turned out to be very humbling.

Goedert knows how this game works, though. There’s love on both sides, but entering year eight, he is also aware of the business side of things. How has he reacted? How do you think? Ever the professional, he has taken a tough spring and turned it into a phenomenal start to the summer.
Dallas Goedert has bounced back from a tough summer in a big way
A sixth Eagles camp is in the books. The day’s events played out familiarly. A member of the coaching staff speaks beforehand. Players speak with the media after the session. Thursday brought special teams coordinator Michael Clay. Later, we heard from the likes of Dallas Goedert and others.
Philadelphia’s tight end dropped his first target on Thursday. He was white hot and on his game ever since. Injuries have been discussed with the guys who have been at practice.

Guys who need reps are missing significant time. Guys who have been on the field have battled the white-hot temperatures. Goedert believes it is making him and his teammates a closer and more cohesive unit.
Grant Calcaterra has also enjoyed a decent camp. Not so much for the other tight ends, though. It’s early, but the rest of these guys aren’t standing out consistently. Don’t be shocked if two tight ends are all the Eagles decides they want to carry on the initial 53-man roster.
