It’s been a big week for the Philadelphia Eagles and a monumental one for Carson Wentz. The second overall pick is set to become the only Eagles rookie quarterback to start in the season opener after the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings. So where was the NDSU star when he got the call from Doug Pederson, informing him of this weeks developments?
Carson Wentz was lying in cornfield hunting geese in NJ when he got call from Doug Pederson. Said he got only 1 goose. "Not a good morning."

Well then.
However, this hasn’t stopped the rookie from getting straight to work and establishing himself as the leader of this team.

Zach Ertz: I was initially disappointed that Sam was traded, but I've worked too hard to feel that way. Carson called me and that ended that

The Carson Wentz era has officially started in Philadelphia, albeit in the most unlikely of places.
