The Kansas City Chiefs go into the 2025 Super Bowl with the best quarterback in the NFL in Patrick Mahomes. However, should injury strike, who would take Mahomes’ place on the field during the big game against the Philadelphia Eagles? His backup is actually a pretty familiar face: quarterback Carson Wentz.

The Philadelphia Eagles rebuilt a Super Bowl team on the fly after trading Carson Wentz back in 2021 to the Indianapolis Colts.

Months after the Wentz deal, Philadelphia sent their first-round pick (No. 12) and the third-rounder from Indianapolis to the Dallas Cowboys to move up two spots to No. 10, where they drafted wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

Once a franchise pillar for the Eagles, the quarterback will be on the opposite sideline Sunday as the Chiefs’ backup.

Carson Wentz has a chance to win a Super Bowl with the Chiefs on Sunday, but he also helped the Eagles to get to this point.

That pick appeared to pay off in Wentz's second season, when Wentz led the Eagles to an 11-2 record while playing like an MVP. However, Wentz suffered a torn ACL late in the season, opening the door for Nick Foles to lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl title.

So much has changed for Carson Wentz in the seven years since he was celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl title. Wentz stood on the field smiling as his team hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Nick Foles captured Super Bowl MVP honors,

The former Eagle will be on the opposite sideline Sunday as Patrick Mahomes' backup with the Chiefs. Here's what he had to say about his time in Philly, Jalen Hurts, and his future.

Carson Wentz once again will mostly be a spectator on the sidelines for a Super Bowl appearance by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Carson Wentz’s past and present are about to collide, but it’s the predictions for his future that might be most tantalizing.
