Jahlil Okafor Wants to Get Cheesesteaks With Carson Wentz

76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor knows a thing or two about being a high draft pick in the city of Philadelphia. Apparently he also knows a thing or two about fine Philly cuisine.

Okafor reacted to the Eagles selection of quarterback Carson Wentz by tweeting at the North Dakota kid to hangout and get a cheesesteak.

Not sure where a cheesesteak falls into both teams' respective sports science programs.

That said, Wentz already responded and seems to be keeping his newfound wealth close to his vest.

This is a great idea, encouraging brotherly eating between two teams in town. My only suggestion? Bring some security.
