Daily News | A day after his release from the Colts, former Eagles Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles gets personal
“Shoot, almost every year of my career I’ve almost retired,” Foles said. “Every offseason, I think, ‘Do I still want to play? Do I still want to keep going?’ Specifically this last year with everything, God’s really been testing my identity in the game because I was able to get rid of it many years ago, and it was just all about Christ. But [with the] Super Bowl and different experiences, it starts creeping back in. That’s sort of what you’re recognized for.
“When I find myself being fully present [with my children] and engaging in what they are doing, whether it’s building Legos or watching a show or playing soccer, when I find that child in my heart, time goes by and we have fun,” said Foles. “Finding that way of being present with them, realizing that wow, when they’re older this is going to matter. It’s not going to matter that I played in the NFL or won a Super Bowl.
Foles’ release kicked off yet another offseason of uncertainty for him, but he’s happy with his identity — whether or not it features him on an NFL roster.“At the end of the day, it’s been many years since the [Super Bowl win], and it doesn’t define me,” Foles said. “Like I was just signing an autograph, and I had to think ... they wanted ‘Super Bowl LII MVP,’ but I said, ‘Wait, what Super Bowl was that again?’ Because I don’t really think about it ... life goes on.
“Doing all these different things in my career the last couple of years hasn’t actually been how I would want it to go. But [I feel like] it’s how God needed it to go for me to learn. And I don’t know what that is right now, but I know someday He’ll point it out to me. And the big thing will be to make sure my identity’s in Christ.”
