No. 2 overall NFL Draft pick Carson Wentz took to Twitter earlier this week to announce that he accidentally got trapped inside a restroom at a gas station in New Jersey. Of course, this left the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback open to jokes from his Twitter followers.

"Just got locked in a bathroom at a NJ gas station," Wentz tweeted. "Praise the Lord for the attendants w/ the garden shears & the other guy w/ the leg kick."

Just by reading the quarterback's tweet, once can easily point out specific details that need a bit more explanation. For one, how did he get trapped inside the restroom and how the garden shears aid in his rescue?

One of his followers joked that the incident may have been the work of a rival team.

"It's rumored that two men in @Giants apparel were seen waddling away from the scene," Twitter user Eric Martin posted.

Others, however, theorized that someone close to Wentz may have intentionally locked him inside the restroom. Of course, given the current issues surrounding the Eagles lineup, many of the athlete's followers immediately pointed to Sam Bradford, the team's quarterback who will be competing against Wentz for the starter position.

"I was wondering if anyone knows where Sam Bradford was at the time," user Katiyana tweeted.

But aside from the possible culprits, Twitter users also centered on how Wentz managed to get out.

"How exactly do the garden shears work here?" one user posted.

The others, however, jokingly misinterpreted the last bit of info from Wentz's tweet and assumed that he got kicked in the leg as he was being rescued. And, given the hype of the current 2016 NBA Finals series, many of them turned to the one guy who got famous recently for his kicking.

"Was it Draymond with the leg kick?" user Franklin posted.

But, despite the long stream of tweets from his followers, Wentz did not provide additional information regarding his supposed predicament. It's probably safe to say that what transpired during that night at the New Jersey gas station, which oddly enough is equipped with garden shears, will forever remain a mystery.
