Carson Wentz's rise from a small-town North Dakota kid to an NFL star is the definition of perseverance, talent, and heart. Born in Bismarck, he sharpened his skills at North Dakota State University, where he didn't just play football-he dominated, leading the Bison to back-to-back FCS national championships. His arm strength, intelligence, and fearless leadership made him the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, launching him into the league as the face of the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2017, he was on an MVP-caliber run, orchestrating a season that helped deliver the Eagles' first-ever Super Bowl title, even though injury kept him from the final game. Beyond the field, Wentz is more than an athlete-he's a man of deep faith and generosity. Through his AO1 Foundation, he has built food programs, outdoor camps for children, and community projects that change lives, proving his impact stretches far beyond football. His journey is one of triumph, challenges, and a relentless drive to leave the game-and the world-better than he found it.
