Tight end Dallas Goedert has finalized a new contract to stay with the Philadelphia Eagles, aiming to secure another Super Bowl championship following the team‘s previous success. Goedert expressed his strong connection to Philadelphia, valuing both the city and the organization, and is motivated to build on past achievements with the team.
“Yeah, so when I got drafted a year after they won the Super Bowl, I was able to experience the fun parts of a Super Bowl the year after winning the Super Bowl. After we won and the opportunity to run it back again to see the banner drop, it just wouldn’t have felt — it would have felt I was missing on a lot not being there to see all that stuff,”
Goedert said, via Around The NFL.
“I got a lot of love for the city of Philadelphia, the ownership all the way to the cooks in the building. I got a great relationship with all of them. So, I figured for me it was best to work out a deal, so I could stay there and be with the people I find that are important and try to win another one.”
Frankie Luvu Jr. and the Commanders’ Determination for Redemption
Linebacker Frankie Luvu Jr. of the Washington Commanders is fueled by a desire to improve after last season’s disappointment. He recognizes that the team left opportunities unseized and is committed to a fresh start in the upcoming season.
“I know it’s unfinished business,” Luvu said on the team’s website.
“We left a lot out there last year, but last year was last year. This year is a new beginning, new start.”
Luvu has dedicated his off-season to personal fitness and preparation, emphasizing healthy habits beyond regular training.
“Mostly my eating and taking care of my body,”
Luvu shared.
“The extra work outside of the work.”
Giants’ Tyrone Tracy Jr. Focuses on Building Consistency in His Second Season
Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is entering his second NFL year with the New York Giants, having recorded 839 rushing yards and five touchdowns alongside 284 receiving yards and an additional touchdown last season. As he looks ahead to 2025, Tracy is concentrating on becoming a more reliable and steady performer.
“I think consistency is the best thing that shows up in the NFL. When you look at all of the great running backs, they’re very consistent year after year after year. So that’s what I want to be,”
Tracy said, according to GiantsWire.
“I want to be one of the great New York Giants running backs that’s come through here, but it starts with consistency, and that’s going to start at practice every day.”
Tracy has also targeted ball security as a key area for improvement after five fumbles last season. To enhance his grip, he incorporated additional training tools into his routine.
“First of all, it starts on the football field. Every time I’m holding the ball, or I get the ball, whatever it is, making sure I’m carrying it the right way,”
he said.
“And then I also bought, I don’t know if y’all know what it is, but it’s a little grip strengthener off Amazon that I use every night. It just helps me. Also, it just makes sure that I’m being fundamentally sound when I’m holding the ball as well. So again, just take your coaching and the meeting room to the field.”
