Hogs Haven on Zach Ertz
From the article
Ertz says his GPS tracking shows his top speed is 99 percent of what it was before surgery last season, and after an offseason of strength training, his force-plate jumps show better force than before he was hurt.
STACKED’s take
Ertz's rehab metrics show 99% of pre-injury speed; pursuing comeback at 35 with strong conditioning.
Zach Ertz, 35, is pursuing a comeback after undergoing the same surgery as Patrick Mahomes last season while playing for the Washington Commanders. Ertz's rehab metrics are strong: GPS tracking shows his top speed is 99 percent of pre-surgery levels, and post-offseason force-plate jumps show better force than before injury. Ertz stated 'I still feel like I can make a difference in the league as a player' and is spending six hours daily on route work, physical therapy, and weightlifting to prepare for the right opportunity. He and Mahomes motivated each other through text messages during the difficult early rehab phase, with Mahomes helping him through 'the darkest days.' Ertz is waiting for the right situation to sign and enter his 14th pro season.
