  • The Philadelphia Eagles enter Super Bowl LII after a wild couple months of quarterback concerns.
  • Carson Wentz was having an MVP-calibre season before suffering a season-ending injury in December, forcing backup Nick Foles to guide the Eagles through the playoffs.
  • Third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld is on reserve should Foles go down in the Super Bowl.


With a win in Super Bowl LII this Sunday, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could cement his legacy as the greatest football player of all time.

Standing in his way are the Philadelphia Eagles, whose past couple months have been filled with quarterback concerns.

Carson Wentz led the team to an NFC-best 11-2 start, and looked to be on pace for a potential MVP season before tearing an ACL in week 14, sidelining him for the rest of the year.

While many assumed Wentz's injury meant the end of the road for the Eagles, backup quarterback Nick Foles managed to lead them to two playoff victories, including a decisive rout of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.

Wentz's injury also thrust third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld into the spotlight — should Foles get injured, the little-used Sudfeld will have to step up on the sport's biggest stage.

There are three quarterbacks on the Philadelphia Eagles roster: No. 11 Carson Wentz, No. 9 Nick Foles, and No. 7 Nate Sudfeld.



Carson Wentz started out the year under center for the Eagles. The highly touted second-year player led Philly to a surprising 11-2 start, good for first place in the NFC.



Wentz quickly became an icon among Eagles fans, who dubbed their state "Wentzylvania." His 33 touchdown passes and nearly 3,300 passing yards made Wentz an early MVP favorite.
