Carson Wentz knows the importance of making a good first impression.
He energized the Eagles' fan base in his NFL debut last September after throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The performance was all the more impressive considering that he played in just one preseason game, and was named the starting quarterback just eight days before that season opener.
Wentz was named the "face of the franchise" multiple times this past week by Eagles executives at the NFL Annual Meeting. Wentz understands the responsibility that comes with playing the most important position in the game, and that it goes beyond on-field performance.
