One of the biggest offstage stories on the first night of the NFL draft involved local quarterback Carson Wentz. Upon seeing a fan wearing a Cowboys hat, Wentz snagged the hat and disposed of it in a video that soon went viral:

Wentz explained the event to Yahoo Sports, noting that there’s no love lost between the Eagles and Cowboys. Wentz also discussed the insanity of the scene outside the draft, comparing it to last year’s festivities in Chicago.

Wentz and the Eagles don’t get a crack at the real Cowboys until late November, but by then, we’ll have a good idea of who’s running the show in the NFC East.
