Eagles' Torrey Smith on Carson Wentz: 'He is the MVP'

If Torrey Smith had a vote, Carson Wentz would be the NFL’s MVP even though Wentz missed the final three weeks of the season.

“He is the MVP,” Smith said. “I’ll go ahead and throw that out there.”

Smith admitted he’s biased, but didn’t think Wentz’s absence should keep him from winning the prestigious award. Smith noted how Wentz missed two games because he probably would not have played in the season finale, and Wentz’s statistics are still among the top in the NFL.

Wentz finished second in the NFL in touchdown passes with 33 and had the fourth best quarterback rating in the league.
