He felt such a great connection with everyone who was there, and he enjoyed seeing the coaches and staff visiting him in North Dakota, too.Wentz also talked about his relationship with Doug Pederson and noted that it means a lot, and anytime an organization shows the kind of faith and trust that they have in him means a lot.

EDTPhiladelphia Eagles training camp officially begins at noon today! Unlike the days of Lehigh, practice is now mostly limited to media members and select season ticket holders. Practicing at the NovaCare Complex is ultimately what’s best for the team in terms of the work they can get in. But it’s certainly not fan friendly.With that in mind, it’s my goal as a credentialed Eagles media member to be your eyes and ears at camp. I want to do my best to make it feel like you’re there at practice with me. As always, I’ll be writing up daily training camp practice notes here at Bleeding Green Nation in addition to the observations I make on Twitter (follow me: @BrandonGowton).But in order to really make sure I’m best serving you, the fans, I’d like to hear from you all. Here are some questions I encourage you to answer in the comments below this post:What questions do you want me to ask players and/or coaches?Which players do you really want to hear from? Which players do you want me to especially focus on during practice?What’s something you really want to see out of BGN’s training camp coverage? More pictures/videos? Something else? I’m open to hearing any suggestions you may have. Just let me know!
