Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert ranked at No. 7 in the top 10 at his position ahead of last season.

In what was his seventh season in the NFL, former South Dakota State Jackrabbit posted the lowest yards (496) and receptions since his rookie season in 2018, and the lowest touchdown total (two) of his career.

All that in a season that saw his team win the Super Bowl.

It’s not uncommon for stars to get lost on a roster that boasts so many other stars. But the numbers don’t lie.

Goedert’s place in the offensive hierarchy fell last season, particularly with the arrival of Saquon Barkley.

But even after a less-than-stellar season, Goedert still finds himself in the top 10 of ESPN’s positional rankings, that was compiled by a survey of NFL coaches, executives and scouts.

Goedert fell from his 2024 spot at No. 7 to No. 9.

“Goedert occupies a tricky space on the list because he’s a longtime top-10 resident but is, quite clearly, the fourth option in the Eagles’ offense behind Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith,” Jeremy Fowler wrote. “Philadelphia explored a potential trade for Goedert this offseason, only to revise his contract to one year and $10 million. His 2024 output — 42 catches for 496 yards and two touchdowns — was his lowest since his rookie year in 2018. But he’s still considered among the most complete tight ends in the NFL.”

Even with the statistical fall, one scout still thinks he affects the offensive game plan.

“He’s still on the short list of tight ends that affect the game at a high level,” a high-ranking scout with an NFL team said.

Another coach believes the theory that he got lost on the roster among other stars.

“Very good player — does everything extremely well, just not exceptional at any one thing in particular,” a veteran defensive coach noted. “You don’t give him as much thought as some of these other top [tight ends], but probably because you can’t afford to with Saquon, A.J. and Smith in that offense.”
