Before showing NFL fans at the Combine that he was just as good as advertised, Carson Wentz was on the roster of the North Dakota State Bison. To say this was a team that many NCAA football fans knew absolutely nothing about would be an understatement. After being given the redshirt his first season on campus, Wentz played sparingly over the next two seasons and mostly did so in mop-up duty. He would complete a grand total of 34 passes during the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
Then, 2014 came, and Wentz was finally given the keys to the program. He’d respond by throwing for over 3,000 yards and totaling 31 touchdowns including 25 through the air. 2015 would see Wentz break his wrist after six games. At that point, he already had thrown 16 touchdowns.
He’d return in the FCS National Championship game and win that for the second time in two attempts while being named the NCAA Division I Championship Game Most Outstanding Player for the second straight year. With nothing left to do and no more years of eligibility, he now sets his sights on the greener pastures of the NFL.
Here’s the thing. The San Francisco 49ers will be picking very early in April’s Draft, and there’s currently a culture in San Fran fans are not used to seeing from a once proud franchise. They decided they didn’t want the only coach to take this team to a Super Bowl since they were once dominant. Good players still in their prime decided they didn’t want to play anymore, and if that’s not enough, the team’s leadership was under the impression their quarterback was happy while that same QB was looking for the fastest way out of town.
Honestly, Colin Kaepernick will learn quickly that his opinion of himself doesn’t match that of the majority of the other teams in the NFL. Their other option is Blaine Gabbert. Chip Kelly has come to town and needs to decide who his signal-caller is, and (as stated) what he has is a mess. Don’t be surprised if Wentz doesn’t get past the 49ers.
