A biography for Zach Ertzhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm focusing on being the best I can for my teammates - catching as many balls and putting in as many good blocks as I possibly can.”
“I went to play in the NFL.”
“I don't play this game to be an average tight end.”
“Bringing in a guy like Jordan Howard is going to help us immensely: a guy that you can give the ball to behind five really good offensive linemen and say, 'Go to work.'”
“I play this game to be the best tight end I can possibly be and win as many football games as I possibly can.”
“What I've learned, being in this league, is you can't take things personally.”
“In today's society, a lot of males think you have to be strong all the time, and you're not allowed to show weakness. That's just so false.”
“Can't ever catch enough balls.”
“I don't want to be viewed as a weakness in any means. I don't want to be viewed as a weakness in the passing game. I definitely don't want to be viewed as a weakness in the running game.”
“When you're blocking someone, or when you're running, it's all about putting force into the ground, and that's the epitome of the back squat.”
“I want to prove to myself and everybody else how good I can be, and I'm willing to work as hard as I need to to achieve that goal.”
“If you're able to build something on a strong foundation, you're not going to be easily swayed.”
“Everybody says, 'Oh, those East Coast people are so ruthless' and what not. But I love them. I mean, they're honest. What more can you ask from people?”
“I pride myself on being able to create mismatches. That's what I've done my whole life.”
“I want to be the guy in the red-zone, believe me.”
“Obviously, I want to be on the field each and every play, but that's not what I can control.”
“I had a stutter when I was a young. I went to speech therapy.”
“If anyone asks me a fantasy football question or for help, I don't respond.”
“I always knew Jesus, but I didn't have the relationship I do now.”
“Early in my career, if I didn't get the ball, or if something would happen, or the media would say something, I'd take it personally.”
