First look at Carson Wentz in Indianapolis Colts uniform (Photos)

It will take some getting used to, but here is Carson Wentz in an Indianapolis Colts uniform.
For the first time in five years, Carson Wentz will be playing for a new NFL team. You need to see what he looks like in an Indianapolis Colts uniform. Trust me, it will take some getting used to.
Wentz wore the No. 11 jersey for the Philadelphia Eagles the last five years. While Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. would not part with the jersey number, Wentz fashioned himself a new one. Wentz will wear No. 2 for the Colts, ushering in a new era for him and the AFC South-contending football team. By reuniting with head coach Frank Reich, the sky is the limit for them.
Carson Wentz faces lofty expectations now in Indianapolis Colts uniform
Though he is blessed with a new start after how things deteriorated for him in Philadelphia, Wentz does have several big challenges ahead of him in Indianapolis. If he is willing to compete, he can become one of the best passers in franchise history. Keep in mind this franchise has had Johnny Unitas, Bert Jones, Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and, for one year, Philip Rivers.
Overall, for as good as Wentz looks in a No. 2 Colts jersey, the only thing that matters is how well he plays in it. We all know he is better than what he showed in last year’s disaster. Conversely, we should expect his near-MVP 2017 season to be a high-end anomaly as well. If Wentz plays like he did for the Eagles in 2018 and 2019, he should be able to have plenty of successes in Indianapolis.
For the time being, Wentz looks great in Colts uniform, even if it will take some getting used to.
