Along with Eagles fans, local municipalities are quickly jumping on the #WentzWagon.
After North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz was selected No. 2 overall by Philadelphia Thursday night, he posted about how excited he was to play in Eagles green in a heavily branded tweet. In response, whoever's behind the Whitpain Township, Montgomery County, Twitter account decided to have some fun.

Just to be clear for the incredibly gullible, Wentz Run Park is actually named after Peter and Rosanna Wentz, who settled in the area in the mid-18th century and lent their home to George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

But hey, if Carson Wentz can bring us a Super Bowl championship, don't you think he deserves a park of his own? The original Wentz family already has a historic farmstead and road named after them. Let's see what his park would look like:
