Carson Wentz among the best in the NFL in big-time throws under pressure

Carson Wentz enters the 2020 NFL season under some big-time pressure but it’s how he responds in the pocket with rushers targeting him that should have Eagles fans and analysts confident about this season.

Even with a depleted receiving corps and a lack of speed on the roster, the Eagles star quarterback was still able to rise and lead his team to another division title.

Wentz was huge down the stretch and made a ton of big-time throws, so many, that Pro Football Focus ranked him No. 3 in the NFC in that category.

Wentz was not only among the best in the NFC under pressure, but he went stat for stat with some of the best signal-callers in the NFL when that stat was presented.

Throw in the return of DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery along with three speedsters acquired in the NFL Draft, and the 2020 season should be Wentz’s true coming party if all his weapons remain healthy.
