Carson Wentz helped put North Dakota State on the map as a football powerhouse by leading the team to three consecutive national championships and becoming the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft three years ago. Wentz having an incredible 2017 season and being the front-runner for the NFL MVP when he tore his ACL in December didn't hurt either.

The replacement for Wentz at North Dakota State didn't do half-bad either. Easton Stick led the Bison to back-to-back national championships, completing 61 percent of his passes for 8,693 yards, 88 touchdowns and 28 interceptions in his four years at North Dakota State.

Wentz has played a huge role in Stick's career and he certainly would entertain the prospect of getting drafted by the Eagles.

"It would be really exciting," Stick said (via Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia). "[Wentz has] been a good friend and has been a really good teammate to me in Fargo. If that’s where I ended up, I’d be really happy."

Stick actually filled in for Wentz during his senior season when Wentz broke a bone in his throwing wrist that required surgery. He missed eight weeks, returned to practice in December and was cleared to play in the national championship game for North Dakota State. Stick led the Bison to that title game, completing 61.2 percent of his passes for 1,44 yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions in his redshirt freshman season.

Of course he learned how to handle the pressure from the tutelage of Wentz.

Stick is incredibly accurate, putting up 2,554 yards with 26 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 62 percent of his passes for the Bison last season. He also had 11 rushing touchdowns. Stick (6-2, 221) doesn't have a big arm, but is mobile enough to make plays when the pocket collapses. He's a project, but worth taking a flyer on in the sixth or seventh round.

If the Eagles were to draft Stick, he would be a Day 3 draft pick at best...being selected in the later rounds. The Eagles, who currently don't have seventh-round pick, could wait and gamble on Stick getting undrafted, where he can choose to go to the Eagles.

Philadelphia needs a No. 3 quarterback after letting Nick Foles walk as a free agent and would like to bring in competition for Nate Sudfeld. Stick wouldn't provide that in year one, but he could be reunited with Wentz while learning to play quarterback in the NFL.

"We're going to explore every option to improve our football team," Roseman said at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis Wednesday. "We have a lot of confidence in Nate. he's had every opportunity to learn from two of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League. This is a really big opportunity for him and a big year for him."
