Carson Wentz earns high praise from Giants DC Steve Spagnuolo

Share

He hasn't even even played a full season yet, but Carson Wentz has certainly given Eagles fans a reason to be excited for the future. 

Sure, he's had his rookie moments, but what young quarterback doesn't experience a few bumps along the road?

Through the first half of his rookie season, Wentz has led the Eagles to a 4-3 record while completing 65.8 percent of his passes for 1,526 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions. 

While most opposing coaches would relsih the opportunity to go against a rookie signal caller, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo feels otherwise. 

Speaking to media members prior to the Giants' Week 9 clash with the Eagles, Spagnuolo had nothing but praise for the rookie out of North Dakota State. 

"He doesn't look like a rookie quarterback to me," Spagnuolo said, per NJ.com. "He really doesn't. Not the way he functions.

"He throws the ball as good going left as I have ever seen a right-handed quarterback do it." 

The Eagles, coming off a 29-23 overtime loss at division rival Dallas, will travel to MetLife Stadium on Sunday to take on the Giants in another NFC East divisional matchup.
