Carson Wentz learned to be patient. In high school, his older brother was the starting quarterback. Carson didn’t get to start until his senior year. At North Dakota State University, he waited three years before starting for the Bison. Yet all that waiting helped. He spent the time learning to lead. He trained and reviewed plays. In practice, he became the toughest quarterback the Bison faced. When Carson became a quarterback for the Eagles he no longer had to wait. He became a starter right away. And Eagles’ fans only had to wait one year for their team to win its first-ever Super Bowl.

High Stakes, Deep Faith, and Unbreakable Brotherhood They were the first No. 1 seed in NFL history to enter the playoffs as an underdog. Their star quarterback was out with a season-ending knee injury. Five-time Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots towered over them. But public opinion didn't matter to the Philadelphia Eagles. They believed in each other. The band of Christian brothers on the team believed in the God of the impossible, and they played for an audience of One. The most extensive book to explore the Christian faith shared by many of the team's players, Birds of Pray details the incredible inside story behind the Eagles' capture of the biggest prize in professional sports: the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Through exclusive interviews with the players, never-before-seen photos, and insider accounts of the miracle season's most memorable moments, Philly native and Associated Press sportswriter Rob Maaddi reveals a side of the team the world has yet to fully witness. From an impromptu baptism in the team's cold tub to weekly Bible studies and pre-game prayers, to the unique friendship between star quarterback Carson Wentz and back-up-then-MVP Nick Foles - the Eagles excel in the unexpected. Birds of Pray follows the deep faith shared among players, the high stakes they faced together, and their relentless reliance on Christ who gives all strength in moments of crisis and celebration alike. The result is a boldly inspiring, entertaining read that will challenge readers to go deeper in their faith, dream bigger, and live with renewed courage for whatever odds life stacks against them.

Carson Wentz is an NFL superstar in the making. He's a small-school quarterback with big-time potential. He was part of five national championships at North Dakota State, and a winner at every level. Still, some people thought drafting him in the NFL first round would be a disaster, that he wasn't nearly goon enough. The Philadelphia Eagles disagreed. They made major trades to make him the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. Philadelphia coaches thought Wentz would need a year to learn before he was ready to start. Instead, he started right away, and made a big impact. In 2017, he led the Eagles straight to the playoffs. Wentz cares about himself, his teammates, and people overall. His future is very bright.
