NICK FOLES, SUPER BOWL LII MVP, HAS A CALLING FAR GREATER THAN THROWING TOUCHDOWN PASSES

Nick Foles, Super Bowl LII MVP, has a calling far greater than throwing touchdown passes. Foles wants to become a pastor. After leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl, Foles has become a folk hero in a city that has desperately waited for a championship since 1960. But that won’t define Foles in the big picture. He has more important plans for his future. “I want to be a pastor in a high school,” Foles said. “It’s on my heart. I wanted to continue to learn and challenge my faith.” Foles is passionate about helping students find their way and plans to use his experiences to inspire and encourage them. “When I speak to (students), that’s such a time of young men and young women’s lives that there’s a lot of things that are thrown at them. I’ve been blessed with an amazing platform and it’s just a door God has opened.” He says prayer helped him decide to stay in the NFL, and he returned to the Eagles to be Wentz’s backup. He was spectacular in the NFC championship and ended the season as Super Bowl LII MVP. “The reason I decided to come back is, I’ve loved the game of football, and I knew as a person that the more growth I’ve had and the more opportunity I would have to glorify God and trust in him would be to go back and play football.” (AP)
