Carson Wentz joins Minnesota as a veteran backup who lives for bow hunting and Bible study. He throws right-handed, hunts lefthanded, and is left-eye dominant, shaping a fierce, off-field routine that complements his NFL grind. In practice he mentors J.J. McCarthy while keeping the left arm for hunting, a balanced life that fans can watch closely.

Wentz’s journey—from NDSU glory to the NFL, and into Wentz Bros Outdoors with his brother—drives his AO1 Foundation, which helps ill children and underserved communities. Off the field, faith and family anchor his leadership as he slides into a crucial backup role for the Purple this season.

The story blends big-game archery, dog mentors, and a faith-forward mission, offering fantasy players a glimpse at the veteran presence behind an unsettled depth chart and a reminder that players live multi-faceted lives beyond the gridiron.
