3. Wentz should be even better in 2020
While some quarterbacks shy away from competition, Wentz eats it for breakfast, the main reason Sam Bradford was traded and the former North Dakota State star was pushed into the lineup as a rookie.
Wentz said all the right things on Monday, specifically that he’s not concerned about Hurts’ arrival and it won’t make him any more motivated than he already was.
I asked Carson Wentz if this is extra motivation
“It doesn’t matter who is in the (QB) room with me. I’m the most motivated person in that room.
I believe that. That’s how I am wired. I am as motivated as ever. Especially ending the way we did last year” pic.twitter.com/OA2TU5sTGC— John Clark (@JClarkNBCS) May 4, 2020
Wentz said he’s a competitor and wants to be on the field, but he has confidence the coaches will put them in the best position to win.
Look for him to take the next steps as a passer and improve on his career-best numbers from last season.
