Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Frank Reich spoke to the press recently about Carson Wentz. He believes that being on a team in the NFL is a collaborative effort, and not just down to the players.

The coaching staff and the front office have to do their best to ensure that the players get the best environment possible, and sometimes that means shielding the players and hedging your bets onto them.
