Professional career

edit

Pre-draft

edit

On January 8, 2013, Ertz announced, through a statement released by Stanford, his decision to forgo his senior season and enter the 2013 NFL Draft. He was ranked as the second best tight end prospect in the draft by ESPN Scouts Inc.[13] He was one of 19 tight ends to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He completed all of the combine and positional drills and finished second in the bench press, third in the three-cone drill, and finished ninth, among all tight ends, in the 40-yard dash.[14]

On March 24, 2013, Ertz attended Stanford's pro day and opted to perform some of the drills again in an attempt to shorten some of his times and increase his vertical and broad jump. He successfully posted better numbers in the 40-yard dash (4.67s), 20-yard dash (2.74s), 10-yard dash (1.64s), vertical jump (35.5"), and broad jump (9'6").[15] During the pre-draft process, he attended private visits and workouts with the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles.[16] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Ertz was projected to be a late first round pick or second round pick in the draft by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the second best tight end prospect in the draft by Sports Illustrated, DraftScout.com, SBNation, and NFL analysts Mike Mayock, Mel Kiper, and Rob Rang.[17][18][19] Ertz was also ranked the fifth best tight end by NFL analyst Josh Norris.[20]

Philadelphia Eagles

edit

2013

edit

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Ertz in the second round (35th overall) of the 2013 NFL draft.[22] He was the second tight end drafted behind Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert, but ahead of future Pro Bowlers Travis Kelce and Jordan Reed and fellow Stanford teammate Levine Toilolo.[23] Head coach Chip Kelly explained the selection of Ertz and his plan to use three-tight end sets that had been successfully used by the New England Patriots.[24]

On May 9, 2013, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Ertz to a four-year, $5.37 million contract that included $3.65 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.29 million.[25][26]

Ertz was unable to attend organized team activities due to the NFL's policy on players completing their college quarter before joining their team's off-season programs. He arrived in June and joined the team in time to participate in the Eagles' minicamp.[27] Throughout training camp, he competed to be the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart against veterans James Casey and Clay Harbor. Head coach Chip Kelly named Ertz the third tight end on the depth chart to begin the regular season, behind Brent Celek and James Casey.[28]

He made his professional regular season debut in the Philadelphia Eagles' season-opener at the Washington Redskins and made his first career reception on an 11-yard pass by Michael Vick in the first quarter of their 33–27 victory. He was _targeted three times, but only finished with one reception.[29] On September 29, 2013, Ertz earned his first career start after surpassing James Casey on the depth chart and was designated as the top receiving option at tight end. He finished the Eagles' 52–20 loss at the Denver Broncos with one reception for 38 yards.[30] In Week 9, he made five receptions for 42 yards and caught his first career touchdown during a 49–20 victory at the Oakland Raiders. He scored his first career touchdown on a 15-yard pass from quarterback Nick Foles in the second quarter and caught the fourth of the NFL-record tying seven touchdown passes thrown by Foles during the game.[31] On December 1, 2013, Ertz made five catches for a season-high 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns during a 24–21 win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.[32] It marked his first career game with multiple touchdown receptions. In Week 15, he caught a season-high six passes for 57 yards in the Eagles' 48–30 loss at the Minnesota Vikings.[33] He finished his rookie season in 2013 with 36 receptions for 469 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 16 games and three starts.[34][35]

The Philadelphia Eagles finished first in the NFC East with a 10–6 record in their first season under head coach Chip Kelly.[36] On January 4, 2014, Ertz appeared in his first career playoff game and made three receptions for 22 yards and caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nick Foles in the Eagles' 26–24 loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Wild Card Round.[37]

2014

edit

Ertz returned as the primary receiving tight end in 2014, but remained second on the Eagles' depth chart behind Brent Celek who was more well rounded and able to receive, but was used primarily as a blocking tight end.[38][39] In Week 14, he made two receptions for 39 yards and caught a season-long 35-yard touchdown in the Eagles' 24–14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.[40] On December 20, 2014, Ertz caught a career-high 15 receptions for 115 receiving yards during a 27–24 loss at the Washington Redskins in Week 16.[41] He finished his second season with 58 receptions for 702 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games and five starts.[42] Although the Philadelphia Eagles finished with a 10–6 record, they did not qualify for the playoffs.[43]

2015

edit

Ertz remained the second tight end on the Eagles' depth chart, behind Brent Celek, for the third consecutive season. On November 22, 2015, Ertz caught two passes for 12 yards before exiting the Eagles' 45–17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second quarter after sustaining an injury.[44] During the course of the play, he caught a pass from quarterback Mark Sanchez, hurdled cornerback Sterling Moore, and was immediately hit by linebacker Lavonte David. The impact with David turned Ertz around and caused him to fall directly on his neck. He was able to avoid any serious injuries to his neck, but sustained a concussion and was sidelined for the Eagles' Week 12 loss at the Detroit Lions.[45] On December 22, 2015, Ertz caught a season-high 13 passes for 122 receiving yards in the Eagles' 38–24 loss to the Washington Redskins in Week 16.[46] On December 29, 2015, the Philadelphia Eagles fired head coach Chip Kelly after their loss to Washington left them with a 6–9 record. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was named interim coach for the season's final game,[47] a 35–30 victory at the New York Giants in which Ertz had nine receptions for a career-high 152 yards.[48][49] Ertz finished his third season with 75 receptions for 853 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 15 games and seven starts. His 75 receptions finished second on the team.[50] Although Celek remained the No. 1 tight end throughout the majority of the season, Ertz received more snaps, finishing with 789 offensive snaps (68.25%) to Celek's 600 snaps (51.9%).[51]

2016

edit

On January 25, 2016, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Ertz to a five-year, $42.5 million contract extension that includes $21 million guaranteed and a $8 million signing bonus.[52] He displaced a rib by his collarbone in the season-opener against the Cleveland Browns and was sidelined for the next two games.[53] On December 12, 2016, Ertz made ten receptions for 112 receiving yards in the Eagles' 27–22 loss against the Washington Redskins in Week 14.[54] In Week 17, he caught a season-high 13 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns in their 27–13 win against the Dallas Cowboys.[55] Ertz finished the 2016 season with 78 receptions for 816 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 14 games and 14 starts.[56] He led the Eagles in touchdown receptions, receiving yards, and receptions.[57]

He remained in concussion protocol and was sidelined for their Week 14 victory at the Los Angeles Rams.[66] On December 19, 2017, Ertz was named to his first Pro Bowl, but was unable to participate due to the Eagles' playoff success.[67] He finished the 2017 season with 74 receptions for 824 receiving yards and a career-high eight touchdowns in 14 games and 14 starts.[68] Pro Football Focus gave Ertz an overall grade of 82.5, ranking him fifth among all qualifying tight ends.[69] He has been ranked 68th by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2018.[70]
