The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback will be a legend in Philly forever if he’s the quarterback who brings the city its first Super Bowl title. With a win, his story will be told by NFL fans for decades as the backup who took over and won a title. Yet, with a ton of pressure on him for Super Bowl LII, it was a question about his daughter that caused his most emotional response.
At the Eagles’ media availability Tuesday, Foles was asked about his daughter Lily, who was born in June. The experience of being a father has obviously changed him. Like Tom Brady starting to cry telling the media at last year’s Super Bowl that his dad was his hero, Foles choked up talking about his young daughter.

Foles turned his head for a moment and tried to compose himself.
“I get to see her. I get to see my wife,” Foles continued. “I see her and my wife, just in her face and in her mannerisms, that’s what it’s about. I know that every time I step on the field, every single thing I do, there’s going to be some days she looks and wants to know who her daddy was and what he did.”
