Carson Wentz’s viral bear killing stunt gets condemned by FS1 personality - “Pathetic”
Carson Wentz found himself in the crosshairs of NFL fans for his play last season, and he is now in hot water once again for an entirely different reason. The free-agent quarterback posted photos on Instagram of himself with a bear he had hunted in Alaska, which drew criticism from Tanya Ray Fox of FS1.
The second overall pick in the 2016 draft said on social media that he checked off a “bucket list” item when taking down the bear with his bow and arrow.
Fox, however, asserted that those who do what the 30-year-old veteran quarterback did were "pathetic."
"Men who do this are pathetic. Sorry," she wrote.

Fox is not the only person outraged at what Carson Wentz did as the photos received plenty of backlash online.
Wentz played last season with the Washington Commanders, starting seven games. He was released in February 2023.
The former North Dakota State star began his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Wentz was having an MVP-like season in 2017 before suffering a tear in his knee. He ended third in the MVP voting in the 2017 season.
Philadelphia traded the veteran to the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the 2021 season. He spent one season in Indianapolis before moving to Washington.
Will a team sign Carson Wentz this season?
For Wentz, his resume could impress some teams who want a veteran presence at quarterback. He has a Super Bowl and a Pro Bowl to his name and is a proven starter in the NFL.
Wentz has started 92 games, throwing for 22,066 yards, 150 touchdowns, and 66 interceptions in his seven-year career.
The quarterback has finished in the top 10 in touchdowns three times and interceptions twice in a season. Time will tell if another franchise will take a flyer on Wentz ahead of the 2023 season.
