Wentz Week: A Look Back at Carson Wentz’s Eagles Legacy

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — The anticipation builds as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for their matchup against Carson Wentz this weekend. Wentz, who began his NFL career with the Eagles, made a significant impact during his tenure. From his debut as the starter to leading the team to its first Super Bowl title, memories of Wentz still linger. This week, fans reflect on his journey while gearing up for the game.

Carson Wentz was not the initial starter when he entered the league, but after the Eagles traded quarterback Sam Bradford, he took the reins. His debut campaign in 2016 showcased his potential, especially during pivotal moments like his connection with Darren Sproles for a 73-yard touchdown in Week 3 against the Steelers.

“We got a guy! We got a guy!” exclaimed a friend at the time, a testament to the excitement that Wentz generated. His performance helped the Eagles secure home-field advantage during their Super Bowl LVII-winning season in 2018.

His time with the Eagles ended when Jalen Hurts emerged as the franchise quarterback. Nevertheless, Wentz’s statistics with the Eagles highlight his impact, throwing 113 touchdown passes to 28 different receivers.

As the Eagles face Wentz’s new team, fans are encouraged to share their favorite Wentz memories, making this match a nostalgic celebration of his legacy. The game also creates opportunities for engaging conversations about what Wentz meant to the Eagles and their fans overall.
