2016 NFL Draft Watch: Top Carson Wentz Football Cards – When Carson Wentz was selected with the number two overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, it was a BIG day for Division 1AA athletes around the country. Many experts and scouts believe that while Jared Goff may be the more “NFL ready” player, that it will be Wentz that is the better player down the road.
NFL analyst Mike Mayock attested to this by saying, “This is a special moment for a Division-1AA (FCS) player. There is precedent in Joe Flacco, who came out of Delaware. Wentz is the No. 1 player on my board, so while I understand and believe that Goff is more ready to play today, Wentz will be a better player five years from now.”
