The Indianapolis Colts' first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is firmly in the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.That became abundantly clear on Saturday when took all 63
Lance McCullers Jersey offensive snaps in the Colts' over the Arizona Cardinals. Per the terms of the that sent Wentz from Philly to Indy this past offseason, the Eagles received a conditional second-rounder that would become a first-rounder if Wentz played 75 percent of the Colts' snaps in 2021. The trade also stipulated that the second-rounder would become a first-rounder if the Colts make the playoffs and Wentz took 70 percent of the snaps. But while the Colts have yet to clinch a playoff berth, Wentz has clinched the 75-percent threshold.Wentz has now played 97.

The Eagles spent a second
Houston Astros Jersey -round pick on Oklahoma quarterback in 2020, and eventually turned to Hurts as their starter, which made Wentz more expendable.Back in August, with Wentz hobbled by a preseason foot injury that required surgery before he'd even taken his first snap for Indianapolis, the chances that he would meet the 75-percent requirement looked far more bleak.
Mike Scott Jersey However, Wentz's speedy recovery allowed him to start the team's opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, the Wentz-Colts marriage has been a healthy and smooth one under coach Frank Reich, who worked with Wentz for two seasons as the Eagles' offensive coordinator. Wentz and budding-star running back have invigorated the offense and helped the team to an 8-6 record heading into Saturday.The Eagles hold three first-round selections for
