In the 1999 NFL Draft, the Eagles selected Donovan McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick out of Syracuse University.
With McNabb under center, he lead the Birds to the playoffs eight times, played in five NFC Conference Championship games, one Super Bowl in 2004 and became the most winning quarterback in franchise history.
It was one pick 17 years ago that changed the franchise. And Howie Roseman, executive vice president of football operations, believes they can replicate that success with Carson Wentz.
“One player can change your team,” Roseman told reporters shortly after making the Wentz pick official.
