Eagles' Carson Wentz compared to Giants' Eli Manning

Ahead of his second NFL season, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been compared to many quarterbacks, most frequently to Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco, but Peter King put Wentz in the company of another quarterback with two Super Bowl rings.

King says that he sees plenty of similarities between Wentz and Giants quarterback Eli Manning:

I talked to Wentz for awhile the other day, as he drove home from an off-season practice, and I came away thinking he's got a good chance. He reminds me of Eli Manning in terms of mentality and confidence--I'll explain that in a few moments--and I don't think the game's too big for him.
