“I had a lot of family in town, and Carson, this tells the type of guy he is, he gave me his suite for the game,” Howell said, via USA Today. “I know a lot of people said some negative things about Carson, but he’s just an unbelievable human being. He’s just awesome to be around. For him to give me his suite for my first start, means a lot.”

Wentz’s time in Washington may be coming to an end, but the myth that he is a horrible teammate can definitely be debunked. Wentz was hailed by his teammates both in the offseason and throughout the regular season. Despite his quarterbacking difficulties, he made a favourable impression on those with whom he shared a locker room over the previous season.
