ESPN National Correspondent Sal Paolantonio dives into Carson Wentz’s first year and delivers us his feelings on what to expect from the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback during year-two of his young NFL career.
Then, on Opening Day, in a town that’s never won a Super Bowl, among fans that are nearly impossible to seduce, Carson Wentz never blinked. Opening drive against the lowly Cleveland Browns: touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews—a tear drop 19-yarder that floated out of the sky like some higher power was offering a cleansing rain, to wash away the years of doubt and frustration and open the floodgates of optimism. Wentz and Matthews are best friends—they even pray together in the same church. It was the first time the Eagles had scored on an opening drive in any game in eight years. Now we were all singing from the same hymnal.
