Nick Folas Honored As he Retires
Nick Foles, a name etched into Philadelphia Eagles history, received a heartfelt tribute before the Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons. It's been almost six years since Foles last suited up at Lincoln Financial Field and nearly seven since his historic role in leading the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory. Known for his journey across six different NFL teams, Foles played for St. Louis, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Chicago, Indianapolis, and most notably, Philadelphia, the team that drafted him.
It was Monday night, and Foles rode off into the sunset in a scene that fit like a classic Western. Rather than becoming another disenchanted linebacker, he chose to retire as an Eagle, pouring cement on his legacy in a city which still held him dear as a folk hero. "It's been a little while since I've been in front of y'all," Foles said at his retirement news conference, thanking teammates, coaches, agents, family, and friends. He even posed with recently retired center Jason Kelce and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox for a team photo wearing the dog masks that have become a symbol of the underdog Eagles.
Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t hold back in celebrating the man who led their team to glory. Just before the official ceremony at Lincoln Financial Field, fans gathered across the street for tailgate celebrations and the "Philly Philly" event hosted by Bud Light. Along with other Eagles legends like Fletcher Cox, they reminisced about Foles' impact on the city.
When Foles replaced the injured Carson Wentz during the 2017 NFL season, his legendary status was firmly established. With the performance of a lifetime, Foles led the Eagles on an unlikely Super Bowl journey. He outgained Tom Brady and led the Eagles to a historic victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, finishing with 373 passing yards and three touchdowns. His outstanding performance won him MVP of the Super Bowl.
For supporters, Foles is more than just a player. He led the Eagles to two postseason appearances during his two final seasons in Philadelphia, where he recorded an outstanding 4-1 postseason record. Rob Soto's admirers are among those who greatly value the excellence he brought to the field, and his legacy never stops inspiring.
