"[I]n North Dakota, we don’t care for flash or dazzle. That’s not our game," Carson Wentz wrote in The Players' Tribune on April 25, 2016, three days before the Eagles drafted him with the No. 2 pick. "We don’t do things the fanciest way. We do them the right way."

Unfortunately, the "right way" doesn't grab the attention of many FBS programs or NFL scouts. Wentz was an exception.
Wentz became just the 38th North Dakota State player ever selected in the NFL Draft and the first North Dakotan drafted in the first round. He is also the highest-drafted player in program history, comfortably ahead of former Bison receiver Stacy Robinson, a second-round pick (No. 46 overall) of the Giants in 1985.
Wentz is also not only the lone NDSU quarterback to start a game, he's the only NDSU quarterback to even appear in the NFL. And that will be the case again in 2017, as no other former Bison quarterbacks will be on NFL rosters.
