Carson Wentz, quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles
Wentz held his own last year after being thrust into the starting role right before the beginning of his rookie season. Instead of sitting out and observing former Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, which was the original plan, Wentz passed for 3,782 yards and 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
In 2017, Wentz is primed for a big year with the additions of veteran wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith. With these additions, Wentz will be driving a Cadillac instead of an old Toyota Camry this fall.
He will also have a new workhorse running back, LeGarrette Blount.
It’s also worth mentioning the second-year quarterback completed a commendable 62.4 percent of his in 2016. That number stands to improve given Wentz’s array of newly added distinguished talent.
