Carson Wentz

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 came in 2017, when he led the Eagles to the NFC’s top seed before a season-ending injury. The team went on to win Super Bowl LII with Nick Foles at quarterback. Wentz earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. Wentz helped Philadelphia return to the playoffs during the following two seasons, however further injuries 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 Minnesota Vikings.
