Carson Wentz: Eagles starting quarterback. Rookie phenom. Flyers fan?

Posing with former Giants quarterback Phil Simms, who will be part of the broadcast for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Wentz sported a Flyers hat.

Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol was a visitor to Eagles camp over the summer and chatted up the young quarterback. Hakstol of course coached at North Dakota for 11 seasons and apparently made a fan in the former North Dakota State quarterback.

Like Wentz, Simms came from an FCS school, Morehead State. Let's hope Wentz enjoys similar success to the two-time Super Bowl champion Simms.
