CARSON WENTZ ENTERED THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT IN 2017
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that quarterback Carson Wentz notched his first Pro Bowl selection compliments of an outstanding sophomore campaign. Before his season was regrettably cut short with an ACL injury, Wentz put up MVP-caliber numbers while raking in an extensive list of accolades.
Wentz led the Eagles to an 11-2 start, clinching a playoff spot during his final game. He had six games with three touchdown passes and four games with four and had thrown at least one touchdown pass and no more than one interception in 15 straight games, which is tied for the sixth-longest streak by an NFL quarterback since 1950. He was also awarded Offensive Player of the Month honors in October.
His popularity has soared among across the league as his No. 11 jersey was the best-seller in October and November. He finished first among all NFC players in the fan vote for the Pro Bowl. Wentz becomes the first Eagles quarterback selected to the Pro Bowl since teammate Nick Foles did it back in 2013.
"I do think that this year, obviously we wanted to see as coaches, those increases from a year ago. We wanted to see that incremental increase with Carson in his development and his growth and that's what you're seeing," head coach Doug Pederson said. "Is there room for improvement? Yes, yes, there is, and
he'll continue to even get better." - David George
