Nick Foles will forever be a legend in the city of Philadelphia. The quarterback filled-in for Carson Wentz and led the Philadelphia Eagles to a crazy Super Bowl run two years ago, helping the team win their first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
After another magical run last year, Foles left in free agency this offseason – signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
No one can blame him for this either. On the Eagles, he's a backup quarterback. With the Jaguars he's getting a healthy payday and the chance to be the obvious starter. However, that doesn't mean the Philadelphia players will treat him any nicer than any other opposing quarterback.
Being a former teammate might be a nice incentive for certain players. Brandon Graham, for example, seems to have his sights set on Foles.

The Eagles play the Jaguars this Thursday for a preseason Week 2 matchup. That means Philadelphia's defense might get a chance to square off with their former quarterback.
Now, this is a preseason game. Due to that, the chances will be limited. Starters aren't exactly going to be playing the entire time, especially not starting quarterbacks.
So if Graham wants to get to Foles, he'll have to do it early.
The good news for Foles is that Graham's clearly having some fun. That being said, Graham isn't exactly someone you want coming for you on a football field. He's not going to hold back on Foles just because they used to be teammates. If he's going to hit you, he's going to hit you hard.
We'll have to wait until Thursday to see what exactly goes down though. Will Graham get his hands on Foles? Or will Foles find a way to get the upper hand?
