Fletcher Cox will witness his first Super Bowl ever while playing in it

Believe it or not, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox has never watched a Super Bowl.

In less than two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles will take the field for Super Bowl LII. For some players, it is one of the multiple championships they have played in. To others, it will be the first time they have made it this far in their NFL career. For Eagles defensive tackle, Fletcher Cox, it will be the first Super Bowl he has ever witnessed!

Yes, you read that right, Fletcher Cox claimed that he has never watched the big game ever in his life. It’s crazy to think that he has never witnessed the game that he works constantly to get to each and every year. But the veteran tackle admits that he doesn’t really watch sports when he is at home.

“I don’t watch sports”

Say what?

So it seems as though Cox only spends his time working out for football, or watching game film on his opponents. As crazy as it sounds, it is slightly believable. NFL players literally eat, sleep, and breathe football for at least half of the year. So it totally makes sense that an NFL player would want a break from the game after a long season. Especially if your team isn’t in the big game.

We’ve heard this type of statement before from other Eagles players. In fact, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz told the media before that he avoids football outside of football. Whenever these guys go home, the last thing they want to discuss is their job. When you think about it, it definitley makes sense. Hopefully Cox and the Eagles can make his first Super Bowl one that he and many fans never forget. For good reason of course.
