Zach Ertz reached out to Tony Gonzalez because he wants to be the best tight end ever

Zach Ertz wants to be the very best, like no one ever was. Just ask him.

"I want to be the best," Ertz said after Eagles practice last week. "I’m not going to settle for anything less than that. That’s the goal I’ve had each and every day since I was a little kid. To be the best in everything I do. I don’t think there’s any reason I can’t do that."

These aren't just empty words. Ertz has spent a lot of time working on his game this offseason. One of the ways Ertz has aimed to improve is seeking the advice of NFL legends.
