Quarterback Carson Wentz explained why he chose to sign with Kansas City to serve as Patrick Mahomes's backup.
Wentz told reporters Thursday that he has one former teammate to thank for inspiring him to join the team—quarterback Nick Foles .
Foles, who was Wentz's teammate on the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 and '18, played on the Chiefs during the 2016 season as a backup to quarterback Alex Smith. Foles spoke very highly of his time under coach Andy Reid's leadership in both Philadelphia and Kansas City. Foles also played under current Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy on both teams.."He absolutely loved it.
The Chiefs mark the fifth team in as many years that Wentz has joined after he began his career on the Eagles in 2016. He's since had one-year stints with the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders and the Los Angeles Rams. Now he's joining the Super Bowl LVIII champions.
