Part of a weekly update, following the five active Jackrabbits in the National Football League.

Dallas Goedert (Philadelphia Eagles) SDSU: 2014-17

Weekly Notes: Goedert grabbed four catches out of five targets with 66 yards receiving and a touchdown in his preseason debut in last Thursday’s 31-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The first-year tight end scored his first NFL touchdown to tie the game at seven with over 10 minutes to go in the second quarter. He pushed his route vertical, but when quarterback Nate Sudfeld started scrambling out of the pocket right, Goedert settled into a hole of the Steelers’ defense so Sudfeld could find him and dart the ball to Goedert.
