The Indianapolis Colts chose to prioritize the defense in the 2021 NFL Draft, acquiring Carson Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles rather than trying to move up and select one of the better young quarterbacks in last year’s pool. Despite Wentz’s pedigree, this is a huge undertaking.
Frank Reich just began his fourth season in Indianapolis, and he’s started a different Week 1 quarterback in all four seasons between Wentz, Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett, and Philip Rivers. Wentz was supposed to provide quality and star potential, but he has looked pedestrian to start the season off likely due to his own injuries as well as injuries to the offensive line.
