1) I'm not sure Zach Ertz has the big-play ability to ever be a star in the NFL, but he is a solid tight end with good hands and the kind of mentality and work ethic that usually translates into steady improvement. In fact, when you put it that way, he sounds a lot like the guy who Tuesday restructured his deal in the wake of Ertz's new contract extension.
Brent Celek knows firsthand what kind of numbers a tight end can put up in an Andy Reid offense. In 2009, he caught 76 passes for 971 yards and eight touchdowns as a third-year player.
