Carson Wentz Shows Potential in Chiefs Preseason Debut

In his first preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Carson Wentz made his first notable play, connecting with the newcomer tight end Noah Gray for a 21-yard gain. Although connecting for the first time may seem minor, it is still the only valuable pass that Wentz threw for his new team. Thus, Wentz’s experience with his new team may not be extensive at the moment, but it is quite revealing and showcases his potential to integrate into the offensive system of the 2021 AFC finalists.

As Wentz was traded to the Chiefs in the off-season, he needs to prove his ability to adapt to a new football environment. In typical chief-like gaming manner, Wentz showed that his first ability to get the ball in the hands of the receiver is valuable – and necessary for the Chiefs whose performances are characterized by high-scoring offense. In turn, in the course of the rest of the preseason, it will be interesting to observe how the quarterback continues to develop his connection with the new receivers: the Chiefs’ players and coaching staff will ensure appealing to Wentz’s strong sides to ensure that the newcomer may assist the team in converting his experienced arm into valuable scoring opportunities. Demanding as this task may sound at the moment, it seems that Wentz may rise to the task and adjust the necessary game when needed.
