Apparently Carson Wentz is selfish, egotistical and fails to take accountability.
That’s if you believed Joseph Santoliquito’s scathing post about Wentz on Monday.
Several Philadelphia Eagles players have already come out and publicly defended Wentz, including Lane Johnson, Fletcher Cox, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, Zach Ertz and Nate Sudfeld. Even former teammate Torrey Smith came to Wentz’s aid.
Reading through this Carson Wentz thing and as a leader on this team none of that is true Carson is a great teammate and great player we are all behind him 100% he’s our guy and will come back and prove the world wrong. If you got a problem feel free to @ me I’ll respond

Don’t believe everything you read!!! Carson has been nothing but a GREAT person, GREAT teammate and GREAT leader since Day 1. Our locker room stands behind him all the way. We can’t wait to get back to work and be the best team we can be in 2019! #FlyEaglesFly

Here’s what Kelce said to Nick Fierro of the Morning Call though text message.
“Carson arrived here three seasons ago and has been nothing but an incredible teammate,” Kelce told The Morning Call via text message. “From the moment he started taking reps as a rookie, you knew there was something different about him, and our entire offense got better largely because of the competitor and player he is. His work ethic and attention to detail every day made an impact on others, and he’s without a doubt a tremendous leader through his words and actions.
“I have not read Joe’s article and don’t want to get into a habit of addressing unnamed opinions, but I know this: Carson through the first three years has been nothing but a great teammate trying to get better each and every day, trying to make others better each and every day, trying to make this team better each and every day. And when the dust has settled, his legacy will be one of an incredible competitor and teammate who laid it on the line each and every day for the guy next to him, and a man who did everything he could to help this team succeed.
“I’ll go to war any day of the week and twice on Sunday with guys like Carson Wentz.”
So why all the Wentz hate? Because Santoliquito is simply a Wentz hater, let me explain …
