Chelsea Clinton I'M ON THE WENTZ WAGON ... Go Eagles!
Move over, Joe Biden ... there's a new passenger on the Wentz Wagon -- Chelsea Clinton!
Chelsea was in North Dakota visiting with Senator Heidi Heitkamp -- when she handed Hillary's daughter a #11 jersey for her husband, Marc, who was born in Philly.
Of course, Carson Wentz played his college ball at North Dakota State before being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Chelsea LOVED the gift and tweeted back, "Thank you for the warm welcome Heidi & for the #Wentz jersey for Marc (even if one of our kids will be wearing it on Sundays)! #FlyEaglesFly."
She's just the latest celebrity to join the Wentz fan craze ... joining Biden, Sly Stallone and Pete Wentz.
The Eagles play the Lions this weekend ... we'll see if the Wentz Wagon will continue to roll.

EXCLUSIVE

More bad news for Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham -- he's finally been formally charged with felony battery for allegedly punching a hotel worker back in July.
The 27-year-old was arrested in Miami on July 25th after officials say he got violent with a Hilton Bentley worker who was setting up a beach umbrella for the NFL player's group.
Officials say Bradham got upset because the worker was taking too long -- so he punched the guy in the face. Someone in Bradham's group allegedly smashed the worker over the head with a glass bottle.
Now, the Miami State Attorney’s Office tells us Bradham has been formally charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm -- a 2nd degree felony.
Bradham has pled not guilty -- but if he's convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. The trial is set for January.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bradham was arrested in a separate incident earlier this week for bringing a loaded gun through the Miami airport.

Joe Biden Carson Wentz Is My Guy ... It's Our Year!
Joe Biden is ALL THE WAY ONBOARD THE WENTZ WAGON!!!
The Vice President just dished out some HUGE compliments to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz on Twitter ... essentially saying the rookie is gonna fly the bird gang all the way to the Super Bowl.
"Heart, guts, and poise from my guy, @CJ_Wentz. Huge game, strong start for the @Eagles. @DrBiden (Jill Biden) is pumped. It's our year."
Biden -- a huge Eagles fan -- had already bragged about Wentz to President Obama ... but that was before he beat up on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Been a pretty big day for Wentz ... Eagles head coach Doug Pederson compared him to Peyton Manning (when it comes to film study).
No doubt the guy's playing great ... but before we clear out a section in Canton, remember ... IT'S ONLY WEEK 3!

Eric Dickerson If Carson Wentz Was An L.A. Ram He'd Be Sittin' On The Bench
Carson Wentz is lightin' it up in the league ... but if he was on the L.A. Rams, he'd be sittin' on the bench, just like Jared Goff ... NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson tells TMZ Sports.
Dickerson -- one of the greatest Rams of all time -- joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) to discuss the 2 QBs ... and whether the Rams screwed up selecting the one they did.
FYI -- Wentz, the #2 pick, has led his Eagles to a 2-0 start (3 TDs, 0 INTs). On the other hand, Goff, the #1 pick, was inactive for the Rams 1st game ... and served as the backup for the 2nd.
So, does Eric think the Rams screwed up not drafting Wentz? And if they drafted him, would he be killin' it with the Rams like he has with the Eagles?
Check out the clip!

Obama was stumping for Hillary Clinton out in Philly earlier Tuesday -- when he talked about how impressed his Vice President was with Carson Wentz when he attended the Eagles game over the weekend.
"He told me, 'Barack, you gotta get on the Wentz Wagon!'"
It's pretty funny ... but Obama says there's NO WAY he'll root for the Birds -- "I explained, 'Joe, I am a Bears fan and we play Philly next Monday night. So, I gotta stick with my team!"
FYI, Biden's a HUGE Eagles fan -- and even took pics with the team after Wentz led the team to victory on Sunday.
Glad we could get the "W" for the VP! #cheesin #Merica @JoeBiden pic.twitter.com/jc2gEqaHsL
