MOBILE, AL -- The Eagles are going to be spending time with the player many feel is the best quarterback in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Speaking at a Senior Bowl event Tuesday night, North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz revealed that he had a meeting scheduled with the Eagles on Wednesday.

The Eagles will spend the week of the Senior Bowl meeting with plenty of prospects, so the fact they will be meeting with Wentz is at most a sign that they have some interest.

Or, on the other hand, it could be a meeting to make sure they don't have any interest based off of the film they've watched.

Chances are, however, that the Eagles are beginning the process of showing some serious interest in Wentz, who is projected to go in the top half of the draft.

The decision to meet with Wentz is particularly interesting considering the Eagles current quarterback situation.

With Sam Bradford coming off of an average year, and set to become a free agent, it is very possible the Eagles will be going in a new direction this offseason at the team's most important position.

A direction, with new head coach Doug Pederson, could lead them to Wentz.
