Carson Wentz has Obama talking, Philly thinking about Super Bowl parades

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF/AP) - Eagles coaches and teammates have been raving about Carson Wentz's intelligence, poise, leadership and talent.

Wentz's impressive NFL debut on Sunday has been getting a lot of attention nationally.

Even President Obama took notice.

He opened his speech here in Philadelphia Tuesday talking about the Eagles and their rookie quarterback.

"I know I'm not the first person from the White House to visit Philly this week. Some of you might have seen Joe Biden at the Eagles game.

He told me 'Barack, you gotta get on the Wentz wagon. We got a new quarterback. We got hope in Philly.'

I had to explain, 'Joe, I am a Bears fans and we play Philly Monday night, I'm going to stick with my team but I will go to Philly and scout out what all the fuss is about.'"

Obama and Biden aren't the only people excited. Some are saying Wentz will win multiple Super Bowls for the Eagles.
