Carson Wentz is a rare breed: an NFL quarterback and a redhead.
Somewhere between 2 and 6 percent of the U.S. population carries the MC1R gene, which is mostly associated with pale skin and red hair. But throughout history, few Philadelphia sports figures, and even fewer NFL signal callers, have carried the genetic trait.
While Wentz has shown great ability so far this season, we must let him develop before bestowing any accolades. So, in the meantime, we picked through the alumni directory and selected the top eight red-haired Philly sports figures of all time.
