Technology tells Eagles Carson Wentz is throwing harder

The Eagles have remained confident about Carson Wentz‘s comeback from knee surgery, and believe he’s throwing harder than before his injury — thanks to some Chip Kelly era technology.
According to Tim McManus of ESPN.com, the Eagles said that Wentz’s velocity on throws is higher than it was last year.
“Those are things we track actually with the footballs and things that we have,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said.
“We can monitor that stuff.
It’s all about the eyes and where you throw it and how you see it.
That’s one thing he’s continued to get better at and work on.
I do feel like now, because of the injury, he’s focusing a little more on lower body strength.
It’s really correlated to velocity and overall speed of the throw.” Of course, there was a long time this offseason when Wentz couldn’t strengthen his lower body strength, after tearing his ACL and LCL late last season.
The Eagles are set to increase his workload next week, putting him back into team drills as they move toward the goal of getting him back on the field for the start of the regular season.
He said this week he thinks it will be “close.”
