When he was in college, Carson Wentz was an exceptional and great resource for the NDSU soccer team. As a quarterback, he led the team to win five NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, earning him several awards, including the NCAA Championship Game Game Most Outstanding Player Division I. Because of his influence and skill on the field, he was appointed to the Philadelphia Eagles team for the 2016 NFL Draft.
The NFL Draft takes place during the off-season and is a situation where the NFL franchise is allowed to select eligible football players from the pool of freshly graduated high school footballers in the United States. At the 2016 NFL Draft, Carson Wentz was selected as the second player of the season (Jared Goff, who is also a quarterback, was the first player of the Los Angeles Rams). This was the first time an FCS player was voted number 2 in the overall selection. It was the highest choice ever made for an FCS player and Carson did not disappoint.
He entered the business as a rookie, and in the 2016 NFL season, his first year with the Eagles, he began breaking and setting a series of NFL records – including most passes (attempted and completed) by a new quarterback. The trend continued into the 2017 season. On December 10, week 14 of the 2017 season, Carson suffered an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in the Eagles’ 43-35 win over the Los Angeles Rams, which ended the season. The injury affected his left knee and was sad because he had such a good season. He finished 2nd in the NFL in touchdown passes with 33. It was also reported that he also tore his iliotibial (IT band) and is still in recovery.
Still, at this young age, Carson is leading bigger names in the sport in terms of touchdowns (TDs). He holds the Eagles record for the most TDs by a quarterback and is the general leader in the NFL. He has a career-high of 33 passive TDs and 7 INTs in just 13 games. Other players in his league include Aaron Rodgers – 39:6 (2011); 35:3 (2014) and Tom Brady – 45:5 (2007); 33:6 (2015).
Carson and the NFL seem to be a heavenly couple. His tall figure, along with his athletic, proportional stature, makes him a perfect partner for the sport, and his fans are always eager to experience his height and body measurements. With honey-blond hair and blue eyes, Carson stands at a height of 1.96 m (1.96 m or 196 cm). He weighs 108 kg (237 lbs) and his body measurements are not yet known. He will not participate in the Super Bowl as he is still nursing his unfortunate injury, but he will be the number one fan of the Philadelphia Eagles when they compete against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Carson Wentz’s Wife, Girlfriend

He used to be in a relationship with Melissa Uhrich, and it is said that she has been his admirer since high school. She is a registered nurse in the United States and is a charming beauty herself. Their relationship was very private despite Carson’s popularity.
