The star of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Goedert, had nothing more than praise for her homologous Kansas City, Travis Kelce, this week.
Goedert and Kelce will face each other in the battle of the wings closed during the Super Bowl this Sunday, which will make the Eagles seek to take revenge on the bosses after their defeat of 2023.
However, that did not retain Goedert to talk about his rival in the accumulation of the appearance in New Orleans.
“I think the most important thing is to spend time with him (Kelce), trying to choose his brain and his knowledge of the game,” Goedert told journalists when asked about the strengths of their opponent during the opening night of Super Bowl Lix on Monday.
“It has been so long trying to discover the hot points in the areas and then it has such a good feeling,” he continued, acclaiming Kelce's football knowledge.
'He was supposed to do it in the thing, but he sees the space there and finds it, and then Mohamcs does a good job when he took the ball. It is fine.

The Eagles will seek to prevent Kelce and the bosses from achieving a Super Bowl Tres.
Goedert's evaluation of his opponents was not limited to Kelce while recognizing some of the great closed wings of the NFL.
Admitting some bias, Goedert accredited the position of the closed wing for the success of the Super Bowl champions.
'I am partial because I play closed, but you look back to all the winners of the Super Bowl and many of them have some of the best closed wings, either Travis, Gronk (Rob Gronkowski) or (George) Kittle has been this game a lot . said.
'Then, obviously I value the position of the closed wing. I think it is a key part for a team and the more you can do, the better you will be.
“I am very grateful to compete against such a great guy,” added Kelce.
Goedert, the 49th selection in the 2018 NFL draft, reached Philadelphia only three months after the Eagles built the Lombardi trophy in the Super Bowl Lii.
However, the closed wing reached the best stage of the NFL when the Eagles returned to the great game in 2023 when Philadelphia, including Kelce's brother, former Jason center, faced the Chiefs.
It was Kansas City who was victorious in Glendale, Arizona, with a 38-35 victory, the first of a possible Super Bowl mob.
However, Goedert and the Eagles will seek to promulgate avenge on Sunday and crush the hopes of the chiefs of a historic Super Bowl victory in the third Super Bowl in Caesars Superdome this weekend.
