The Indianapolis Colts became the logical landing spot for Carson Wentz the moment his future with the Philadelphia Eagles came into question.
Since the Colts completed the trade for the quarterback, general manager Chris Ballard and Co. have meticulously worked to place Wentz in a position to succeed unlike how things were handled in his previous two seasons in Philadelphia.
Familiarity often breeds confidence.
In this case, Wentz rejoined two of his former offensive coordinators, Frank Reich and Mike Groh, who now serve as the Colts head coach and wide receivers coach, respectively. Plus, Reich hired former Eagles quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator Press Taylor this offseason after Philadelphia dismantled Doug Pederson s staff.
