Carson James Wentz (born December 30, 1992) is an American football quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). Wentz played college football at North Dakota State, where he won five NCAA FCS national championships. He was selected second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 NFL Draft, making him the FCS's highest drafted player. Wentz's most successful season was in 2017 when he led the Eagles to an 11–2 record. Although he suffered a season-ending injury, Wentz helped put the Eagles in position to obtain the top seed of the National Football Conference (NFC), which culminated with the franchise's first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LII. He also earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. Wentz helped bring Philadelphia back to the playoffs during his next two seasons, but further injuries limited his participation. Amid a production dip in 2020, Wentz lost his starting job to rookie Jalen Hurts and was traded to Indianapolis the following season.
