NFL.com Senior Analyst Gil Brandt ranked his top 10 players who are ‘poised to have biggest impact’ for the 2021 season. Colts’ QB Carson Wentz comes in at No. 3 on Brandt’s list.
Brandt, in part, writes, “The Colts haven’t fielded the same starting quarterback in consecutive Week 1s since Andrew Luck did it in 2015 and ‘16. Since then, the task has passed from Luck to Scott Tolzien, then back to Luck, then to Jacoby Brissett, then to Philip Rivers. The Colts are hoping Wentz can can stop the merry-go-round under center — which is really the only major question mark remaining on one of the NFL’s most complete teams — by proving he is still a top-tier quarterback after a disastrous 2020 with the Eagles.
