For Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl LII hero Nick Foles, it still hasn't fully sunken in that he's a Super Bowl champion and MVP who took down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. He's also dealing with the reality of becoming a celebrity in Philadelphia, as he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he's making the necessary adjustments in his life.
“Yeah, it’s a little bit different,” Foles said. “I think my safe spot to always go was Whole Foods. No one cared, no one recognized me, but I can’t go into Whole Foods now, and we love going there, so I knew when I went in there, things had changed when I started getting recognized.”
Foles was magnificent against the Patriots, as he threw for 373 yards on 28-of-43 passing, three touchdown passes, one historic touchdown reception, and only one interception thrown during the 41-33 thriller. The 29-year-old quarterback is extremely grateful to finally be able to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Philly for the first time.
“That’s what was so special to us to be a part of winning this thing and bringing it back home to where it hasn’t been,” Foles said.
Although very humble about it, Foles admitted that he did not get a handshake from Brady after the game and has yet to hear from the five-time champ.
“I didn't hear from him, but I will say this: as soon as the game's over you can't move. You can't even like express emotions. There are so many cameras,” Foles said.
The full interview with Foles and Kimmel, which was posted to the official Jimmy Kimmel Live YouTube page on Friday, can be viewed below.
Although Foles would love to stay in Philly, his exact role with the team going forward is currently up in the air due to the return of star quarterback Carson Wentz next season from his ACL tear.
