Wentz was selected as the No. 2 pick of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and is now bound for his fifth team in as many seasons. According to Wright, it is his experience with the Eagles that will help them bag that three-peat. Because there’s one crucial thing the Chiefs have been missing, and Wentz might just be the integration they’re looking for.

On First Things First, Wright noted that while he is not over the moon about Wentz joining his favorite team, he does think there is some merit behind it. The merit being Wentz’s time with the Eagles. And more importantly, Wentz’s track record of successful quarterback sneaks. That’s what Kansa has been missing, per Wright. As he says, ” Carson Wentz is going to be the quarterback sneak guy and the goal line guy .”
His anticipated addition to the team brings expectations of heightened mobility and improved accuracy compared to Gabbert’s performance last season. The former backup to Stafford, Wentz has attempted the quarterback sneak 53 times throughout his career, boasting an impressive conversion rate of 88.7 percent with 47 successful attempts. So if the Chiefs’ offense is looking to integrate the quarterback sneak in their run game again, Wentz might just be the perfect fit.
Meanwhile, the last time Kansas City had a quarterback run a sneak was Oct. 17, 2019, and it ended with their star quarterback janking his knee.
