Part two of our offensive preview will focus on the tight end position. Part one focused on the quarterback room.
The tight end position has an obvious leader in first team All-American in Dallas Goedert but features unproven players after that. Coach Luke Schleusner, in his second year with the Jacks, will be responsible for building depth behind Dallas and for coaching up the young players.
#86 Dallas Goedert returns for his senior year after a record breaking junior campaign. 92 receptions, 1293 yards, and 11 touchdowns have caught the attention of NFL teams. Most mock drafts project him being drafted somewhere between the first and fourth round of the draft. If the returning and preseason All-American has another monster year expect him to lean towards a first or second round pick. Already there have been NFL scouts watching him at practice. Dallas will be a leader not just in the Tight End room but also with his teammates as he was elected as a team captain. The former walk-on has proven that hard work and dedication in the weight room pays off. Coach Schleusner shared that this offseason Dallas broke his own records for the bench press, squat and power clean.
