Philadelphia Eagle Carson Wentz has proven himself to be a leader in all scenarios.
No matter his diagnoses of a torn ACL after Sunday night's game, the quarterback has still managed to warm America's hearts with an inspirational video to never give up.


In which case, here's 5 really important messages in Wentz's testimony you may not have picked up on:

  • 1

    "If We Got Everything We've Ever Wanted In Life, It'd Be A Disaster"

    This is such an important thing to consider... Picture the egos, the privilege, and the craziness that would stir around us if we didn't know how to overcome obstacles for ourselves? Sure, some have more than others, but it's those who have little that humble us all to consider other people before our own wants and needs.

    "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger"

    Seriously though! Every struggle comes with a learning experience. Whether it be a bad break up, or a torn ACL that could change your career...There's a reason for it all. And in the end, you learn your strengths and weaknesses better than you ever could before.

    "We've Accomplished Our Goals"

    He said it! The goal this season was to claim the #1 spot in the NFC East Division, and we did! We need to keep the faith that not one person makes a team. It's a group effort and even the smallest support is what gets these guys through.

    "Never Stop Fighting"

    Again, say it's cancer or a torn ACL. You can't compare apples to oranges but you can compare your character. And that strength to keep fighting and growing and learning from the situation is what will make you win the fight.

    "Trust in The Lord"

    Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding..." If we ruled the world, (Like Wentz alluded before) it would be a disaster. The only one who knows what gonna happen in the future is the All-knowing. So let His plan carry through and give the pressure up to God. You're not supposed to handle situations alone.
