Throughout his career, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has already seen it all. He was supposed to carry the clipboard in his rookie season. Then, he was named the starter after Sam Bradford was surprisingly traded with a little over a week to go before the 2016 regular season began.
He guided his team through 2016 rather successfully. Though they wouldn’t post a .500 record, Wentz showed signs. He set a franchise record for completions, and came just 21 completions shy of setting the NFL record for completions in a season.
One year later, he, very well, could have won the league’s MVP award, but after it was learned that he had torn two ligaments in his knee in a game versus the Los Angeles Rams, his march through 2017 was over.
