The Indianapolis Colts are taking a significant risk by deploying Carson Wentz as their starting quarterback after he endured alarming regression this past season, in which he produced a 57.4% completion percentage and tied for the league lead in interceptions despite starting just 12 games.
On top of being tasked with helping Wentz rediscover his confidence, the Colts will also have to navigate potential concerns about his ability (or lack thereof) to connect with teammates.
