Carson Wentz

Carson Wentz, born on December 30, 1992, is a prominent American football quarterback currently playing for the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League (NFL). His journey began at North Dakota State University, where he showcased his talent by leading the Bison to two consecutive NCAA FCS national championships as their starting quarterback.

In 2016, Wentz made headlines when he was selected second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Draft, marking him as the highest drafted player from the FCS. His breakout season came in 2017, when he guided the Eagles to the NFC's top seed, although a season-ending injury prevented him from playing in the Super Bowl, which the Eagles ultimately won with Nick Foles at the helm.

Despite the setback, Wentz's performance earned him Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. He continued to contribute to the Eagles' playoff runs in the subsequent seasons, although injuries hindered his ability to maintain a consistent presence on the field.

After experiencing a decline in production and losing his starting position, Wentz transitioned through several teams, including the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Rams, and Kansas City Chiefs, before signing with the Minnesota Vikings in August 2025. His career reflects resilience and adaptability in the ever-evolving landscape of professional football.
