Finally, on Thursday Night, he was a guest speaker for the National Prayer Breakfast dinner in place of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence where he apparently stole the show with a passionate speech on leadership.
At U.S. Congress National Prayer Breakfast, attended by the president, #Eagles QB Carson Wentz challenged everyone to view leadership not as "power or gain or being in charge," but putting others first.

North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer told The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead that Wentz’s speech to the 2,500 people attending the dinner was “remarkable.”
“He absolutely touched every heart in this place tonight,” Cramer said.

The grind never stops, as Wentz will continue his rehab from a knee injury and attempt to make it back as the Eagles starter on opening day t0 2017 when they hoist the first Super Bowl championship banner in its teams history.
