Summary
Nick Foles joined us on Episode 124 of the podcast back in July 2, 2018.
He was selected by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft and made the Pro Bowl in 2013 before being traded to the Rams and then a stint with the Chiefs before coming back to the Eagles in 2017 as the backup to Carson Wentz.
In December 2017, starting QB Carson Wentz injured his knee and two months later, Foles was the Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 373 yards and three TDs in the Eagles’ 41-33 victory over the Patriots. Foles is also the only quarterback to ever catch a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.
In 2018, Foles once again came to the Eagles rescue after another Wentz injury and he's led his club back to the playoffs.
Today we look back at our interview with Nick from 2018 as he discusses how he almost retired from the NFL, helped instill faith into the Eagles locker room and why he's content at being a QB in the NFL and God would take care of the rest.

| 0:19.0 | Today we look back at episode number |
| 0:20.8 | 124 with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl MVP, Nick Fulz. And the original |
| 0:27.1 | intent of this day, throwback Thursday, January 10th, 2019 was not to play this interview. |
| 0:34.4 | To be quite honest, I thought it would be better to go back to some interviews |
| 0:38.2 | we did even further back to 2017. But the Eagles are still playing in the playoffs and Nick Foles |
| 0:44.6 | is back, quarterbacking them on an improbable run. I mean, they were not going to be making |
| 0:52.7 | this playoffs with the way that they had started their season. |
| 0:55.5 | And then Carson Wentz got hurt. |
| 0:57.8 | Nick Foles came in. |
| 0:58.9 | They beat the Rams, very similar to last year, and they haven't lost since. |
| 1:03.4 | And the Eagles faced the New Orleans Saints this Sunday in New Orleans. |
| 1:08.0 | It'll be a very difficult task for Foles and his team, but don't ever doubt |
| 1:12.7 | the heart of a warrior. And Nick Foles has that. And we thought it would be good to bring back, |
| 1:18.1 | and certainly appropriate to bring back our interview, a portion of our interview with Nick |
| 1:22.5 | Folls from back in July, July 2nd, 2018, episode number 124 with Nick Foles, who released a book, and he was on a book |
| 1:31.1 | tour when he came on to do the interview with us, and his book is called Believe It, |
| 1:36.0 | My Journey of Success, Failure, and Overcoming the Odds, a great read, a bestseller, |
| 1:40.9 | and Nick did very well with the book, and I highly suggest you read it as a sports |
| 1:45.5 | fan, as a person of faith. So let's get to our interview with Nick Foles. We're playing a portion |
