Nick Foles Retires After 11 NFL Seasons

Quarterback Nick Foles used his social media accounts to announce his retirement from the National Football League. The former Arizona Wildcat played for six teams in 11 NFL seasons, including two stints with the Philadelphia Eagles.

It's a no-brainer that Foles will retire an Eagle. Philadelphia selected him in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft and earned his only Pro Bowl selection a year later. However, Eagles fans will never forget how he led the squad to victory in Super Bowl LII.

Foles, the game's Most Valuable Player, caught a touchdown pass from Trey Burton to help the Eagles defeat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The win caps an excellent postseason run for Foles after replacing the injured Carson Wentz as the Eagles' starting quarterback.

Foles captioned his retirement post on X (formerly Twitter):

"It's been an incredible 11-year journey filled with unforgettable moments and amazing people. From being drafted by the Eagles to winning the Super Bowl, every step has been a blessing."

Foles played for the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs between his stints with the Eagles. After his second run in Philadelphia, he also suited up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, and Indianapolis Colts. Being unsigned last season led to his decision to end his playing career.

Nick Foles will retire as the co-record holder for most touchdown passes in a game (7) and most consecutive pass completions (25). His 68.1 postseason completion percentage is also a league record. Foles will end his career with 15,860 passing yards, 1,445 completions, and 93 touchdowns in 77 career games (including playoffs).
