Football is football; I don't care if you're doing it in Division II, NAIA, or in the SEC or anything in between.
— Carson Wentz
I actually hated hunting the first time I went when I was a kid. My dad took us deer hunting. We sat there for 30 minutes, and I felt like I was losing my mind. But in college, I fell in love with it. Football became a full-time job, and I needed an escape. I needed something that would mellow me out.
Honestly, I've always loved cheesesteaks. They're kind of my go-to when there's nothing else to have at restaurants, but obviously it's a little different when you're out in Philly and have an authentic Philly cheesesteak.
I know we're not going undefeated. I know I'm not going to throw a touchdown every game.
You just control what you can control and just hopefully go win games and keep getting better.
I feel like I've earned respect with how I go about my business, how I carry myself.
I'm not an idiot; I can make adjustments to my life. But I like having a schedule.
I remember just praying, 'Dear Lord, please let me grow to be at least 6 feet.'
It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing. You've got to be the same guy; you've got to prepare the same.
When you come in as the second overall pick, the last thing you want is for guys to think you believe you've made it. Because that's the farthest thing from the truth.
I'm one that doesn't let the pressure or any of the outside kind of scrutiny, all those things, really get to me.
I think one thing I had going for me that a lot of rookies didn't is that we played 15, 16 games every year in college.
There is just something about being out in open country, about seeing the sun rise over a pond, that's really beautiful.
I do have a little chip on my shoulder. I want to make a name for this state. I want to represent this state well so that's kinda the chip on my shoulder in that regard.
I think the biggest thing, even from Day 1 after the draft, was coach DeFillipo being very detailed with everything.
I'm a competitive son of a gun. I don't like losing. I want to be the best out there. I want to lead the troops. I want to kind of take the bull by the horns and be in control.
I hate losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be the best at whatever it is I'm doing.
I'm a very motivated person. I don't need extra motivation.
