Joe Flacco Paved The Way For Carson Wentz

Attending a school in the FCS comes with its ups and downs regarding a possible future in the NFL. The talent is there, however the recognition may not be. For rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and veteran Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, they faced the small-school label and beat the odds to get to where they are today.

Before his collegiate success, Flacco hailed from nearby Audubon, New Jersey. He finished his career at Audubon High School ranked fourth in South Jersey history for most passing yards. He began his college career at the University of Pittsburgh, but transferred to the University of Delaware and led the Blue Hens to a NCAA FCS National Championship Game appearance.
