Carson Wentz is 'Peyton Manning-ish' to Eagles coach Doug Pederson
Call it the Wentz Wagon, Wentzylvania or whatever you’d like, but even Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson is having a tough time tamping down the enthusiasm.
Even when he is trying to do just that.
Take his Monday morning news conference.
In one instance, he talked about how to deal with the growing expectations for the rookie quarterback, who led the Eagles to a 3-0 record with a 34-3 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
"That's the No. 1 challenge for all of us,” Pederson said, according to Martin Frank of The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal. “Gotta stay humble.”
Of course, he also then dropped a line that is sure to live on social media – and even opponents’ bulletin boards – for a while.
When asked about Wentz’ devotion to film study, "He's Peyton Manning-ish."
Wentz even drew praise from Vice President Joe Biden on Twitter.
