Carson Wentz is an American professional football quarterback currently playing for the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League (NFL). He first gained prominence as a college athlete at North Dakota State University, where he led the Bison to two consecutive NCAA FCS national championships. His successful college career culminated in being selected second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 NFL Draft, making him the highest-drafted player ever from an FCS program.
Wentz's professional career has been notable for its early peak and subsequent transitions across multiple NFL teams. He initially found success with the Philadelphia Eagles, where his 2017 MVP-caliber season positioned the team for a Super Bowl championship, though an injury prevented him from participating in the playoffs. His journey has since included stints with the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders, and now the Minnesota Vikings, making him one of the more traveled starting quarterbacks in recent league history.
Recently, Wentz has appeared in sports news in several contexts. Some coverage has involved comparisons between his tenure with the Eagles and the current performance of their quarterback Jalen Hurts. Other reports have focused on his status with the Vikings, including updates on his recovery from surgery and discussions about the team's future quarterback plans for the 2026 season. These stories highlight the ongoing interest in his career trajectory and his role within his current team.
