Nick Foles Writes a Thank You Letter to Philly!
Seriously, break out the tissues. Nick Foles, who helped the Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl, is now gone and officially the QB of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pretty sure…

Seriously, break out the tissues. Nick Foles, who helped the Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl, is now gone and officially the QB of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pretty sure it goes without saying that Philly and Nick himself are crushed, however, he's going to be a starter again and he's making a lot of money.
To show just how much he loves Philly and how much the Eagles mean to him, he took to The Players Tribune to write a love letter to Philadelphia. He thanked everyone, even Chip Kelly!
And then last but not least, I want to thank the city of Philadelphia, and Eagles fans everywhere.
Because for as much of an honor as it’s been to play for this team and this city…… the truest privilege has been over the last year, in the time since we won the Super Bowl — having Eagles fans share their stories with me. Having them remind me of how we didn’t just win the Super Bowl; we won the Eagles’ first Super Bowl ever. Getting to hear from Philly natives about how their father, or father’s father, or mother, or mother’s mother, cried tears of happiness after the game. Learning about how, for most people, rooting for the Eagles is more than a decision — it’s a birthright.
It’s family.
Philadelphia, thank you for welcoming me into yours.
You will forever be a part of mine.
Love Always,
Nick
