Who the heck is this dude out of South Dakota State?

The Dakotas were put on the map by Carson Wentz a couple of years ago, but tight end Dallas Goedert has proven he’s more than just an FCS sleeper.

This guy is many analysts top tight end prospect for the 2018 NFL Draft, and when you watch him play, you’ll see why.

Goedert has a knack for making incredible catches, but it’s his ability with the ball in his hands after the catch that has helped him draw the comparisons to the former Cincinnati and current Pro Bowl tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The former walk-on from Britton, SD has gotten better year after year for the Jackrabbits, and has proven he is valuable not just as a big play threat, but as a high-volume target and safety valve for the quarterback.

Key Stat: Goedert, as a tight end, has two straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, averaging 15 yards per catch in 2016 and 2017.
