Eagles release video of coaches grilling Carson Wentz during NFL Combine interview
There’s more to the NFL Scouting Combine than players running the 40-yard dash, doing the bench press and trying to jump as high as they possibly can. Teams run medical checks on prospects and get to know them by grilling them in interviews.
If you’ve ever wondered what takes place in those interviews, the Philadelphia Eagles gave everyone a glimpse Thursday. They tweeted a video of their sitdown with quarterback Carson Wentz, whom they traded up to No. 2 to select last year.

As you can see, Wentz was questioned about everything from being an FCS quarterback to specific reads he made on tape while at North Dakota State.
Clearly, Wentz proved he was worthy of the second pick, acing his interview with the team that would ultimately draft him.
