Eagles legend Randall Cunningham is a big fan of Carson Wentz
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Randall Cunningham seems to be a big fan of Carson Wentz.
It is always refreshing to see a current NFL player gain respect from a legend. Especially if that legend is one of the greatest your franchise has ever seen crediting your teams, current leader. Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham has quite a lot of interest in quarterback Carson Wentz. In fact, Wentz is currently his favorite player in the entire NFL.
Cunningham currently sits with the third-most passing yards in Eagles franchise history behind Ron Jaworski and Donovan McNabb. Although he is recognized as one of the all-time passing leaders in Philadelphia, Cunningham made his mark in football by being one of the first well-known mobile passers.
Wentz is another quarterback who has the ability to beat defenses not only through the air but on the ground too. That could be one of the reasons why Cunningham took an interest to him. But when he joined 94 WIP radio in Philadelphia on Thursday, he gave his honest opinion on Wentz. Eagles fans will surely like this.

Is the time now?
According to Cunningham, Wentz is the guy that will finally bring a Super Bowl victory to Philadelphia. As the Eagles currently sit on top of the NFL at 7-1, this could very well be the season that turns any doubters into believers. As Wentz just took home the NFC Offensive Player of the Month honor, MVP could definitely be his next stop.
The “Wentz Wagon” in Philly is real, and Cunningham is clearly on-board. Unlike McNabb, Cunningham seems very comfortable with what Wentz may accomplish when it’s all said and done. Although McNabb has stated before that he thinks Wentz will break his records, he hasn’t seemed to quite warm up to the fact that it could happen.
Next: Does Jay Ajayi play Sunday?
Cunningham, on the other hand, is very glad to see that Philadelphia has their guy. As the Eagles continue to fight this season, he is rooting for Wentz to have all the success in the world. Man, isn’t it great to see the legends pass the torch? Hopefully Wentz will be rooting for another’s success in the future, but for now, this is Wentz’s time.
