MILWAUKEE, Wi.,October 24, 2017 – – Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museumunveiled a limited edition bobblehead featuring the NFL’s current passing touchdown leader, Carson Wentz, in his North Dakota Bison uniform. Before leading the Eagles to the best record in the NFL this year and a great rookie season in 2017, Wentz was a stand-out atNorth Dakota State, where he led the Bison to back-to-back National Championships.
Wentzwas selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, becoming the highest selection ever for an FCS player.During his career at NDSU, Wentz won five NCAA FCS national championships, starting his final two years in college and earning Most Outstanding Player of the Championship Game both years. Prior to his time at NDSU, Wentz played quarterback and defensive back at Century High School in Bismarck, where he also played basketball and baseball.
The Eagles, led by Wentz, are off to a tremendous start this season, with a league leading record of 6-1. Wentz currently leads the NFL in passing touchdowns and has continued to make great plays in pressure situations. In his first year with the Eagles, Wentz accumulated multiple NFL and Eagles rookie records, including the most pass attempts by a rookie quarterback and most pass completions by a rookie.
“Given Carson’s tremendous performances off and on the field, we’re excited to release this bobblehead,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “Wentz had an amazing college career, and given his great start in the NFL, we thought a bobblehead featuring Carson in his college uniform would be a great collectible for all of his fans.”
The officially licensed and individually numbered bobbleheads are $40 each. They are only available from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and are expected to ship in November. The bobbleheads were produced for the National Bobblehead HOF and Museum by Forever Collectibles.
