Carson Wentz addressed the media on Monday afternoon and he gave off an aura of confidence that suggests Jalen Hurts really is the least of his worries.
Wentz spoke about fatherhood, his NFC Wild Card concussion, and the elephant in the room, the second-round pick, Jalen Hurts.
Wentz did his best to calm a quarterback controversy while sounding like a guy who is on the same page with Eagles brass from the top to the bottom.
With Wentz finally breaking his silence, here are five takeaways from the video call.
***
1. Wentz is supremely confident
Wentz sounded like a guy who is building his family, firmly entrenched as a franchise quarterback, and relieved from the burden of not playing a full regular season since suffering his torn ACL.
Wentz said all the right things in terms of not being concerned about Jalen Hurts and trusting Eagles brass to put him and the team in the best position to succeed.
Carson Wentz: “If I were to start questioning Howie and the management now, I'd really be questioning myself. When I signed the deal that I did, it was really my way of showing that I trust and believe in what we're doing in Philly.” #Eagles
