On the night of perhaps the most impressive performance of his NFL career, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles found coach Doug Pederson and reminded him about six years ago.
It was then, when Foles was a raw prospect who just finished his college career at Arizona, that Pederson put Foles through a private pre-draft workout. Pederson coached the Eagles quarterbacks at the time and showed more interest in Foles’ potential than anyone else in the league.
“I was only worked out by one team, and that was by Coach Pederson,” Foles said after the Eagles won the NFC championship game.
