There were moments during the Eagles' spring practices when it was clear why Philadelphia traded a number of picks to select Carson Wentz with the No. 2 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. Wentz showed an impressive deep ball along with an uncanny ability to make accurate passes while throwing on the move.

But there were also times when it was clear Wentz is still very much a rookie. The 23-year-old from North Dakota State struggled to throw a tight spiral at times. His wobbly passes caught the eye of head coach Doug Pederson.
