Philadelphia Eagles (Gold medal)

Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, Richard Rodgers

The Eagles earn another gold medal for the same reason they won their first one. Consistency

Ertz has put together three straight seasons with 75+ receptions and 800+ yards. This consistency culminated in his first Pro-Bowl appearance in 2017. It would be hard to argue that Ertz is not, at minimum, a league-wide top ten tight end. Safe to say, he earns the top spot within the division.

For good measure, the Eagles used a second round draft pick to select, arguably, the best tight end in the draft. Goedert put up over 1,100 yards in back-to-back seasons at South Dakota State.

These moves, along with the addition of free agent Richard Rodgers easily give Philadelphia the best tight end group within the NFC East.
