                      Wednesday, February 12, 2025

  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate South Dakota's own Dallas Goedert and the Philadelphia 
Eagles on their Super Bowl LIX win on February 9, 2025. Dallas Goedert 
was born and raised in Britton, South Dakota. After graduating from 
Britton-Hecla High School, he was recruited by South Dakota State 
University's football program.
  As a Jackrabbit, Goedert had 198 receptions for 2,988 yards and 21 
touchdowns. including two straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. 
Goedert's collegiate career at South Dakota State saw him as a two-time 
first-team Football Championship Subdivision All-American.
  After an impressive collegiate performance at South Dakota State, the 
Philadelphia Eagles selected Goedert in the second round and 49th 
overall of the 2018 NFL draft. As of the end of the 2024 season, he has 
accumulated an impressive 349 receptions for 4,085 yards and 24 
touchdowns while being challenged with injuries. Despite being placed 
on injured reserve on December 7, 2024, he returned for the playoffs 
and contributed to the Eagle's victory in the Super Bowl LIX, recording 
two receptions for 27 yards in a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
  I am proud to recognize Dallas Goedert's outstanding perseverance and 
his impact as a role model for athletes and individuals across the 
nation. He is an inspiring reminder of the strength found in 
determination and hard work. I congratulate Goedert and the Eagles on 
their remarkable victory.
