Carson Wentz

As others have mentioned, even if he doesn't get back to full speed he can still be a very good pocket passer. And still be more mobile than Manning or Brady. He's not RGIII.

has there been an acl that has ended a career? Seems like every athlete who does, has come back to have a successful career. Adrian peterson tore his week 17, then won mvp the next season. Of course, adrian peterson isn't human

rg3???????

Typically humble, positive Carson. And... he chose to wear BISON gear for the video. Could have worn Eagles or AO1 stuff. The man is awesome.

ACL tears that happened 25-30 years ago were a death sentence to professional sports careers, especially football (Marcus Dupree comes to mind).

The advancement in medical treatment and surgery on ACLs is amazing, including how small the surgery scars are now compared to the past.

Plus, he's a small dude compared to Wentz. That's a major factor of who can and cannot take hits.

I agree. And it's not like Carson is Michael Vick or RG3 running the football either. His quickness will still be there and for some crazy reason it doesn't, he will adapt and become better areas. He will overcome this, I just hope he doesn't rush it because he's got a long career in front of him.

He's such a down to earth and humble guy. I love that about him.

Yes, thought the Bison hoodie was a nice touch. He didn't have to give the shout out, but he chose to....a great guy.
