Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a man of faith and spends every day outside of his duties as a quarterback, spreading love, helping those in need, or donating to several worthy causes.
Wentz is also an American and like so many others, he was affected by the killing of George Floyd, who died on Monday after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes during the process of arresting him.
The tragic incident was caught on tape and has sparked several days of outrage, protests, and riots in Minneapolis and around the country.
On Thursday evening, Wentz shared his thoughts on the tragedy and spoke with grace and a sense of self-awareness.

Athletes from around the NFL and other professional sports leagues around the country have reacted, while Minneapolis officials pleaded for “patience” Thursday as they work to build a criminal case in the “senseless” death of Floyd.
