NFL: Quarterback Power Rankings
By Kit Anderson
- Carson Wentz
There is no team in the League with more to look forward to in the future at quarterback than the Eagles. Carson Wentz came in slinging last season for the Eagles going through the expected highs and lows that a rookie quarterback often does.
What he did show was flashes of being the quarterback that all Eagles fans were hoping that he would be. His pure arm strength is impressive and paired with the 2nd year knowledge of the NFL he should continue to improve and impress this season.
Wentz is going to be the definition of a gun slinging quarterback once he is fully developed his mental game that is already further advance than many expected. Watching Wentz last season the defining play was one that may have gone unnoticed in the game.
Playing against the Steelers and escaping pressure more than once Wentz fakes a run to allow a receiver to get open. A simple play really that may not have been special to many viewers but the message that the play sent was a simple one Wentz has already learned to manipulate the secondary with his eyes and body language that is something that takes many NFL quarterbacks more than a season to learn. Carson Wentz is here and he is going to be a top quarterback soon enough.
