After two failed finals, the Philadelphia Eagles won their first ring in Super Bowl 2018 by defeating the New England Patriots 41-33. And who stole the attention of the press was Nick Foles. The quarterback was chosen as the 'Most Valuable Player' of the NFL final. A dream come true.
And if there's one thing Foles has learned, it's that life takes turns. Despite being one of the top athletes in his university, he had to wait until the third round to make it to the NFL. He made it, but happiness was short-lived as a series of injuries nearly ended his career.
However, he was called as the backup quarterback for the Eagles, as the starter was Carson Wentz. Little did he imagine that two months ago, an injury to his colleague's knee would give him the opportunity to play in Super Bowl 2018, and he did not disappoint. Thus, Nick Foles joined the list of quarterbacks who started on the bench and rose to glory. Get to know the rest in the following gallery.
