Early years

[edit]

Goedert attended Britton-Hecla High School in Britton, South Dakota. He played football, soccer, and basketball for the Braves athletic teams in high school.[2][3] Goedert's father, a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, named Goedert after the team.[4]

College career

[edit]

Goedert joined South Dakota State University as a walk-on and was with the Jackrabbits from 2013 (he was redshirted as a freshman) to 2017.[5][6][7][8] During his career, Goedert had 198 receptions for 2,988 yards and 21 touchdowns, including two straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He started all 14 games in his senior season and was a team captain, totaling 72 catches for 1,111 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. Goedert's collegiate career at South Dakota State saw him as a two-time first-team Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) All-American, and Goedert was a finalist in 2016 for the Walter Payton Award, which recognizes the top player in the FCS. At the end of the 2017 season, Goedert accepted an invitation to play in the 2018 Senior Bowl.[9] However, he was injured during practice and withdrew from the game.[10]

2018

[edit]

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Goedert in the second round (49th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft.[13][14] The Eagles traded their second (52nd overall) and fifth round picks (169th overall) to the Indianapolis Colts in order to move up in the second round, ahead of the Cowboys (50th overall), to draft Goedert.[15] It was speculated by draft analysts that the Cowboys were going to possibly draft Goedert as they were in need of a tight end following the retirement of veterans Jason Witten and James Hanna.[16] Goedert was the third tight end drafted in 2018 and was selected as a replacement for Brent Celek, whom the Eagles released on March 13, 2018.[17]
