The Indianapolis Colts made one of the more shocking moves of the offseason when they chose to undertake the responsibility of rebuilding former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz after a horrific 2020 season that saw him benched for rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Colts, commanded by head coach and former Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich, think that they have much better infrastructure than what Doug Pederson had provided in Philly following Reich’s departure, and they bet two draft picks on the notion that Wentz could be the starting quarterback for years to come.
