Commanders’ Zach Ertz joins legendary tight end club to seal his legacy

The Washington Commanders got much more than they bargained for with Zach Ertz. Adam Peters took a flier on the veteran tight end despite the signs pointing to his career fizzling out. He was rewarded with supreme leadership in the locker room and outstanding on-field production. And now, Ertz's name is among the game's greats at the tight end position after reaching a significant milestone on Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ertz is widely regarded as one of the most prolific pass-catching tight ends of the modern era. He's a three-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl winner, and is deeply respected by his peers around the league. His impact on the Commanders was immediate, providing a security blanket for rookie sensation Jayden Daniels last time around en route to securing 66 catches for 654 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The Commanders deservedly gave Ertz a new one-year deal and a pay increase in recognition of his outstanding accomplishments. Things haven't gone according to plan i
