ASHBURN — Carson Wentz tends to mumble.
Ron Rivera recalled seeing the Commanders quarterback mutter something underneath his breath and wondering if the comment was directed for him. But upon closer examination, the coach said he quickly realized that Wentz was just talking out loud to himself. That’s the way the quarterback processes plays — good or bad — as they happen.
“One of the things that’s interesting is how hard he is on himself,” Rivera said, “and you do kind of see it.”
Rivera spent hours researching Wentz before acquiring him from the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason.
