Add another Hall of Fame nod for Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl MVP, Nick Foles.

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback/Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles is on one heck of a ride. Around this time last season, he was battling an elbow injury that would slow up his progression as the Eagles backup quarterback. Now, he can’t stop winning as he continues to dominate being an MVP off the field ever since he hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy back in February.

Foles is no stranger to winning, despite having a rough patch in his career. Back in his second year in the NFL, he has had made some incredible achievements. The obvious one that we all think of is his 27 touchdowns to two interceptions in a single season. During that year, Foles sent his game-worn jersey to Canton, Ohio to enter to Pro Football Hall of Fame for his seven-touchdown performance against the Oakland Raiders.

After his breakout season, Foles started to regress as he suffered an injury midway through the year. Although he was previously successful with the Eagles, their general manager and head coach at the time decided that they were better off sending him to the St. Louis Rams. That’s when the football world thought that Foles would be nothing more than a one-hit wonder.

Now, we all know the comeback story. Foles fills in for Carson Wentz, and the rest is history. For the first time ever, the Eagles are crowned Super Bowl Champions, and Foles just so happens to win the most valuable player honors. For that, his Alma Mater Arizona University has decided to make a Nick Foles display in the University’s Hall of Fame.

Another day, another accomplishment for Foles. Nowadays, it feels like the love for Nick Foles will never end. Clearly, the talks will quiet down once the 2019 season kicks off. But for now, Eagles fans and players can’t help but take all of this in. After all, we’ve waited 52 years for this to happen.

As for Foles, this is yet, another high honor. He didn’t exactly tear up the turf at Arizona, but he stood out well enough to get the attention of the Philadelphia Eagles, so he could be drafted in the third round back in 2012. Now, you can find Foles’ signed Eagles jersey along with pictures from the big game at Arizona’s Jim Click Hall of Champions in the same week he wins an ESPY. So, what could possibly be next for Foles?
