For a brief moment after he was drafted No. 2 overall, Carson Wentz was a flawed-but-talented MVP candidate and Super Bowl champion.
Now, the truth is a little tougher to figure out. How much of the early Wentz run with the Eagles was real? How much of his struggles now are in his head?
Most relevant today: Will a stint in Kansas City help the misfortune-prone quarterback get his swagger back?
Perhaps some of those questions will eventually be answered. Until then, here’s a list of the guys Philadelphia could have drafted instead of Wentz.
