Wentz will donate game check to charity upon Jake Elliott's request

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will donate his game check from Week 3's victory over the New York Giants to charity upon kicker Jake Elliott's request.

Wentz was mic'd up for Sunday's game and said he'd give Elliott his paycheck if the kicker hit a game-winning 61-yard field goal, which he did.

Elliott refused Wentz's gift, however, opting instead to donate the money to a charity of his choosing, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.

It's certainly a generous gesture by the rookie Elliott, who joined the Eagles after being waived by the Cincinnati Bengals in September.
