Film Room: Carson Wentz

It is not often that a player earns MVP consideration, tears his ACL at the end of the season, and returns stronger the following year. Carson Wentz is on track to prove something new to the football world; to prove that he is not ordinary. Now a third-year passer out of FCS school North Dakota State, Wentz has shown early developments in his mechanics and nuance akin to a young Cam Newton, whose development arc should serve as a shining light for quarterback coaches and young signal-callers. The expectation of regression after Wentz's touchdown-heavy, efficiency-lacking MVP season and a torn ACL have not stopped him from balling out this year.
