When the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the Vikings just prior to the season’s start, Carson Wentz was named the starter after being drafted No. 2 overall.
“I think [Wentz] has done a really good job [so far],” Zimmer told Twin Cities media members. “It seems like he understands where the ball is going quickly. He has done a nice job of avoiding pressure in the pocket and using his athletic ability, and he’s got a great arm. He looks very accurate to me. He has a great deep ball. So, he’s been impressive.”
In five starts for the Eagles, Wentz is 102-of-157 passing for 1,186 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception.
