INDIANAPOLIS — The governor of North Dakota, Jack Dalrymple, was on the phone from Bismarck on Saturday afternoon. The state stopped for an hour or so Saturday to watch favorite son Carson Wentz from North Dakota State run and throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. If they couldn’t watch on TV, they could call their neighbors and ask how Wentz was doing down with the big boys at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“I’ve been in contact with quite a few North Dakotans today,” Dalrymple said, “and everyone’s saying, ‘Any word on Carson? What do you hear?’ I never remember anything like this before in our state.
