"I know that every time I step on the field, every single thing I do, there's going to be [a day] she looks and wants to know who her daddy was and what he did and that gives you a little extra juice to go out here whenever you're tired, whatever you're doing, doing things the right way. I think about that because I know she's gonna grow up and I want her to be proud of her daddy," Foles shared in the conference, provided by Sportsradio on Twitter.
When Foles accepted the honor of being the Super Bowl's MVP, his family came on stage with him to celebrate his moment.
Foles is extremely grateful and humbled by being named MVP. However, the quarterback revealed that he considered retiring over two years ago. Foles told his story at a press conference after Sunday's Super Bowl.
When Foles missed the chance to become a starter for the Los Angeles Rams, the quarterback revealed that he took a week to think about his career, ABC News confirmed.
Foles recalls it as "the best thing that ever happened" because it gave him the opportunity to "assess everything in life," which later on led him to become the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.
