Updated: Wikipedia source
Carson James Wentz (born December 30, 1992) is an American professional football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the North Dakota State Bison, winning two consecutive NCAA FCS national championships as the starter. Wentz was selected second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 NFL draft, making him the highest drafted FCS player. Wentz's most successful season was in 2017 when he helped the Eagles obtain their conference's top seed, before suffering a season-ending injury, which led to their winning the franchise's first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LII with Nick Foles at quarterback. Wentz earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. Wentz helped take Philadelphia back to the playoffs during his next two seasons, but further injuries again limited his participation. After losing his starting position due to a production decline, Wentz spent his next four seasons as a starter and backup with the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Rams, and Kansas City Chiefs. In August 2025, he signed with the Vikings.
