'Nick Foles always carried himself with the utmost class and integrity, demonstrating through his actions, both on and off the field, what it meant to be a Philadelphia Eagle,' said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO.

'He was the ultimate competitor, an inspiring teammate, a true representative of our city, and, of course, a Super Bowl Champion.

As important as he was under center, it was his positive demeanor, approachability, and kindness toward others that resonated with everyone and continues to speak to his great character.

We congratulate the Foles family on Nick's celebrated career and retirement.
