He may be the most popular person to grace Philadelphia since Ben Franklin, but at heart Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz is really just a humble guy from North Dakota.
A true Midwesterner who loves his family and faith, Wentz is a hero in the City of Brotherly Love, but he’s a god in Bismarck.
NBC10 and CSN traveled to Carson Country earlier this month to explore Wentz’s roots -- speaking with family, friends and coaches.

From the time he was just a boy, they remember him as a quiet, yet determined kid who loved to play football and hated to lose a game.
On Friday at 7 p.m., CSN’s John Clark will take you inside Wentz world in a half-hour special program "From Wentz He Came."
Shot during the Eagles’ bye week, you’ll visit Wentz’ alma mater, Century High School, and see him honored during a homecoming game at North Dakota State University in Fargo.
