Eagles training camp: Doug Pederson explains what the coaches are working on with Carson Wentz

As a rookie quarterback, there are times when Carson Wentz really stands out in a good way. Take his excellent 50-yard deep pass to Josh Huff during Saturday's practice, for example. But then there are times when Wentz looks the part of a rookie. The 23-year-old passer clearly still has a lot to learn as he adjusts to the NFL. Eagles head Doug Pederson recently explained what the Eagles are working on with Wentz.

"Specifically trying to keep his feet tighter to the ground," said Pederson. "He can get a little jumpy, a little hoppy. He can also be a little upright in his frame, so try to keep him in a bent posture a little bit, and then just his knowledge and understanding of the offense, being able to anticipate and become an accurate -- a little more accurate passer.
