Dallas Goedert 2024 season review

Goedert had a strong campaign for the Eagles in 2024 and was a major reason behind the team's success and eventual Super Bowl win. He finished the season with 42 receptions for 496 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.

He was also crucial in the success of the famous "Tush Push" play, as he is usually one of the players doing the pushing.

However, Goedert also missed some time during the regular season due to injury, something that has become a slight cause for concern in recent years.

Over the past five seasons, Goedert has missed time in each season due to injury. In 2020, he played in 11 games, followed by 15 games in 2021, 12 games in 2022, 14 games in 2023, and 10 games in 2024.

When healthy, Goedert is one of the best tight ends in the National Football League. With his restructured contract, Goedert and the Eagles will be looking to build off their amazing 2024 campaign and win their second consecutive Super Bowl in 2025.
