Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles commented on the ongoing eruption of racial justice protests and demonstrations in the United States on Monday, sharing on social media his thoughts on diversity following an outcry by activists in the past week when Minneapolis African-American man George Floyd was killed in police custody.

Foles, 31, who was traded to the Bears this past offseason from the Jacksonville Jaguars after a short, four-game stint in the AFC South, wrote about his experience in a “diverse” NFL locker room.

“My favorite part of playing football has not been winning a Super Bowl or running the Philly Special. It has been to Glorify God and to play with men from all different backgrounds and races,” Foles wrote. “To use football as an example … the beautiful thing about playing football has been the diversity within the locker room. Men come together to achieve the common goal of winning games no matter what their background. To do that they must love one another, genuinely. It becomes a real brotherhood. I’ve been a part of some special teams. The special teams did not always have the best playbook but they did have the strongest brotherhood.”

Before joining the Bears, the Texas-born Foles entered the NFL as a third-round selection out of the University of Arizona by the Philadelphia Eagles. After a two-year departure from Philadelphia, Foles re-joined his original squad, eventually leading them to the first Super Bowl title in franchise history in 2017-18 after starting gunslinger Carson Wentz was injured. Foles won Super Bowl MVP honors for his heroics.

Foles was traded to the Bears in March 2020 for a fourth-round pick.

He could end up challenging Bears signal-caller Mitchell Trubisky for the starting job.
