For a stretch there, you couldn’t blame the lonely hearts of America for longing to find someone to love them the way the Philadelphia Eagles loved Carson Wentz.
At least until they no longer did.
At the start though of the relationship, this was a pursuit and a commitment out of some classic romance novel.
The Eagles spied their diamond in the North Dakota State rough and then traded twice to move up and select him second overall in the 2016 NFL draft. They handed him the starting job. When he was hurt, they stuck with him, letting Super Bowl hero Nick Foles depart.
