Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles officially retired from the NFL on Monday, returning to Lincoln Financial Field for a press conference to announce his decision. Foles, who played five seasons over two stints with the Eagles, was known for his clutch performances and unforgettable moments, including leading the team to victory in Super Bowl LII.
Foles, who famously called for and caught the"Philly Special" in Super Bowl LII, spent five seasons over two stints with the Birds. He was the Super Bowl MVP in 2018.Some mornings, depending on how awake and alert one can be around 5:30 a.m., Jeff Stoutland will pause on his walk through the hallway inside the Eagles’ NovaCare Complex.
Stoutland was a two-time college champion during his two seasons on Nick Saban’s Alabama staff before joining the Eagles in 2013. But Foles — who threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns and caught one of his own on the immortalized “Philly Special” trick play that he called — helped put the ultimate football prize in Stoutland’s hands.
“There was just something about wearing midnight green,” Foles said. “I always felt something different in this city, in this stadium. I was just meant to play here … It’s made me a better person playing here.A statue of Foles and Doug Pederson conversing about running “Philly Special” — or “Philly Philly,” as Foles called it when he suggested the Eagles run it — resides outside the Linc.
It was a windy day, Foles said, and Pederson challenged Foles to throw a route he didn’t know existed 65 yards through the wind. His first attempt got caught in the wind and crashed to the field 10 yards short. But Pederson asked him to try it again. Foles threw a perfect spiral on his second try. The Eagles were going to run a different play, a speed option, Foles said, double-checking with former Eagles tight end Brent Celek, who was sitting in the back of the room. Once Pederson agreed to run the trick play, Foles said he had one job: to make it back to the huddle without smiling, fearful of revealing to the New England defense that something was up.
