Eagles talk: Carson Wentz was the NFC East’s best pocket passer in 2018

Let’s get you caught up. The Philadelphia Eagles draft Carson Wentz in 2016. As a rookie, he sets a team record, and you can see the potential. In year two, he’s a legitimate MVP candidate, but he suffers a devastating knee injury. Then, his team wins the NFC East and eventually the Super Bowl while being led by his backup, the only Super Bowl MVP in team history, Nick Foles.

Wentz returns for year three but never quite looks like the guy that blazed through the league in 2017. His season would end prematurely, this time because of a broken bone in his spine.
