It has been a busy last few months for the Philadelphia Eagles, especially after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. For star tight end Dallas Goedert, calling this offseason hectic would be a massive understatement. After seven years in Philadelphia, Goedert's future was uncertain until very recently.
For several weeks, it looked like the former South Dakota State star was going to have to find a new NFL home. Even while navigating that chaos, Goedert still had his attention to serving the community, and being an advocate for causes close to him.
One particular cause that Goedert has been spearheading is his campaign with Amgen, which is a large, multinational biotechnology company headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California. Goedert went into that particular partnership, and his longstanding battle with plaque psoriasis during a recent interview with A to Z Sports Philadelphia Eagles.
"Ever since I was 10 years old, I've been dealing with plaque psoriasis, which causes rough, flaky patches on your skin. Being a football player with plaque psoriasis can be tough because you want to put all your focus on the game, and you're worried about how it looks and how it feels.
So I've been taking an Amgen medicine that treats from within, rather than putting something on after they show up, putting on a topical scrambling to do that. So I would just encourage everybody to visit DallasGStory.com to hear more about my story. I found a treatment option that works really well for me. I tell everybody to visit dallasgstory.com and it's more about my story, and it gives you tips to talk to your doctor about finding a treatment plan that works best for you."
Things are beginning to slow down a bit for Goedert over the last several weeks, who was able to resolve his situation with the Eagles, and agree to a new contract. Since he was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Goedert has been defined by a lot more than just the 349 receptions, 4,085 yards, and 24 touchdowns he has managed to produce during his seven years in Philadelphia.
Since becoming a part of the Eagles organization. Goedert has been an exemplary member of the community. He has been noted as being a great teammate, a coachable player, and an asset to the fans everywhere.
His partnership with Amgen isn't just about his condition, or his own self-care. This campaign is about getting everyone the attention they need that also suffering from plaque psoriasis. As Goedert mentioned, don't suffer in silence. Go see your doctor, and try to find the routine or solution that is best for you.
