Nick Foles, one of the great feel-good underdog stories in NFL history, has decided to call it quits on an improbable football journey.
The 35-year-old Nick Foles, who led the Philadelphia Eagles to the franchise’s first Super Bowl championship in the 2017 season en route to Super Bowl 52 MVP honors, announced in a video on X/Twitter that he’s retiring from football after an 11-year career.
Foles thanked the Eagles fans, his coaches, teammates, agents and family for helping him during his 11-year career.
“As this chapter closes, another one opens. I’m truly grateful for my time in the NFL. I get to be a husband and a father. I have three kids at home that I get to be around all the time…
This isn’t the end. I know I’ll see you soon. Thank y’all.”
Nick Foles spent five seasons with the Eagles in two stints (2012 to 2014 and 2017 to 2018). He had one-year stops with the St. Louis Rams (2015), Kansas City Chiefs (2016), Jacksonville Jaguars (2019) and Indianapolis Colts (2022). Foles also spent two seasons with the Chicago Bears (2020 to 2021) and helped them to a rare postseason appearance in 2020.
After considering retirement, Nick Foles was convinced by Andy Reid to come to Kansas City and back up Alex Smith in 2016. That same year, Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson was hired as the Eagles’ new head coach, and he recruited Foles to return to Philly in 2017.
Starting QB Carson Wentz tore his ACL late in the 2017 season in a game against the Los Angeles Rams, forcing the Eagles to roll with Foles. The one-time Pro Bowler never looked back, guiding Philly to a Super Bowl 52 journey that concluded with a 41-33 victory against Tom Brady’s dynastic New England Patriots.
Nick Foles Had A Historic Performance In Super Bowl 52
Foles picked apart the Patriots’ usually stingy defense in Super Bowl 42, completing 28 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns. On top of that, he caught the touchdown pass from Trey Burton on the iconic “Philly Special” trick play at the end of the first half.
Foles will always be a legend in the world of Philadelphia sports, and it’s safe to say that he’ll never have to buy a drink whenever he returns to the City of Brotherly Love.
