Carson Wentz is a well-traveled quarterback at this point in his career, now on his fifth team after he was originally selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Wentz is most famous for his five-year stretch with the Eagles in which he truly did it all, taking home a Super Bowl victory, becoming a Pro Bowler and being named an MVP candidate.

But things have changed a lot for Wentz as he's hit some rough patches, going from starter to backup and seeing time in varying capacities for the teams he's been with.

He'll continue to take the back seat for the Kansas City Chiefs after doing so for the Los Angeles Rams last year. The Chiefs signed him to a one-year deal this offseason to kick the tires on him as the player on the depth chart behind who is largely deemed to be the NFL's best quarterback — Patrick Mahomes.

Wentz was recently asked about how he handles the preparation perspective as a backup as opposed to the starter, and admitted there is indeed a difference.

"Yeah, it's different, I'm not gonna lie, it's definitely different," Wentz said. But at the end of the day, I'm still approaching it to be ready. You know, at the end of the day, that's kind of my mindset, I'm trying to learn as much as I can, as quick as I can."

He's put an emphasis on building relationships with his new teammates as he acclimates to another locker room.

"Formulate a relationship with all these guys and just keep getting better on the field, you know, at the end of the day, that's the mindset you have to have in this league, you've got to always be ready to go, and when called upon. That's no different, I guess, in that regard. But you know, you go out to practice and you're with the two's or you're going scout team that, you know, it is different. But I'm just trying to get better and take it one day at a time."

But even in a reduced role from what he's seen at other points in his career, it is clear Wentz is taking the changes as they come with a mature mindset.

His focus is on being the best No. 2 for Mahomes as he possibly can be.

“Pat (Mahomes) and I already have a great relationship that’ll keep growing, and we’ll keep finding ways that I can help,” Wentz said. 

“The dude has been playing at an extremely high level for a while, so I’ll try to find a way to help in whatever way I can, whether that’s off the field, on the field, or whatever. I’m just here to help and support.”

How Wentz pans out for a team looking to win its third consecutive Super Bowl will be something to watch. For now, he's simply embracing the opportunity, it seems.

“I love (Kansas City). I mean, just the culture, the values, everything that me and my wife, our family kind of stand on just kind of makes us feel right at home.. it’s definitely been a cool city to get to know in my first six weeks here. I look forward to continue to explore it and be a part of the city.”
