Carson James Wentz is an American football quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at North Dakota State University (NDSU), where he won five NCAA FCS national championships. He was selected by the Eagles with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the highest selection ever for an FCS player. In his first year with the Eagles, Wentz set multiple NFL and Eagles rookie records, including most pass attempts and completions by a rookie. In the 2017 season, Wentz helped the Eagles get out to an 11–2 record before getting injured. He was second in the NFL in touchdown passes with 33, as well as a media and fan favorite to win MVP but missed the last three games of the season due to a season-ending ACL injury in his left knee. Led by Nick Foles, the Eagles would go on to win Super Bowl LII over the New England Patriots, the first in franchise history, earning Wentz a championship ring. In 2019, Wentz became the first QB in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards with no wide receiver over 500 yards. His 4,039 yards was also the most in Eagles franchise history in a single season.
