Commanders coach Ron Rivera enters the summer with confidence that recently-acquired quarterback Carson Wentz can be better than most expect when Washington takes the field this fall.
After seeing Wentz around his teammates during OTAs, Rivera has come away impressed in his short time with his quarterback.
“[Wentz] is brilliantly smart. He came in, got in his book and got to work,” Rivera told The MMQB’s Albert Breer. “He’s just one of those guys that works at it. And in some respects, it was similar to when I was in San Diego and I saw the way Philip Rivers was, how smart Philip was. And this guy is smart. Watching Carson, it’s like, ‘This guy’s got it,’ and he really did remind me of Philip to a degree. … It was really pleasing to see.”
