Carson Wentz will enter the NFL Draft with a small sample size of playing time for a lower-level program, yet his old position coach is convinced he’ll thrive on the big stage.
“He’ll turn a franchise into a winner,” North Dakota State quarterbacks coach Randy Hedberg said during a recent phone interview. “I’m very confident of that.”
The Browns could be believers, too. If they choose to use the second overall pick April 28 on a quarterback, Wentz or California’s Jared Goff would become the face of the franchise despite reclamation project Robert Griffin III being a likely bridge starter.
