The Eagles have selected North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz with the second overall pick in the NFL draft.
A potential franchise quarterback was Philadelphia’s goal after the team traded up twice to get the second pick from Cleveland.
The 6-foot-5 Wentz led the Bison to their fifth consecutive FCS title last season. He passed for 1,651 yards and 17 touchdowns during his senior year that was shortened by a wrist injury. Wentz only started his final two seasons and didn’t face big-time competition at NDSU.
Bradford did not report for voluntary workouts this week and agent Tom Condon has requested a trade. The Eagles also signed Chase Daniel to a $21 million, three-year deal to be the backup.
