The Carson Wentz hype train is real. Just a couple of days after ESPN's Jon Gruden said that former North Dakota State quarterback is the 'most NFL-ready' quarterback prospect in a couple of years, ESPN analyst Ron "Jaws Jaworski" compared Wentz, who threw for over 5,000 yards and 45 touchdowns during his four years at NDSU, to former Dallas Cowboys and NFL Hall of Fame signal caller Troy Aikman. Jaws made the comparison on a Thursday morning edition of SportsCenter.
That's some high praise. Aikman, who spent 11 seasons with the Cowboys, was named the Super Bowl XXVII MVP in 1993 after throwing for 273 yards and four touchdowns in the 52-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in Canton, Oh. in 2006.
No pressure, Wentz.
