PHILADELPHIA — Nick Foles went searching for clarity, for guidance and for direction, but in time, he found the answer resided within him all along.
Nearly two years ago, the trajectory of his career led him to the same crossroads all NFL players eventually reach. And when it came time to choose his path, to decide whether to give up the game he loved or postpone retirement for at least one more season, Foles could think of only one thing to do.
He prayed. Then he waited for an answer.
“My heart said, ‘Go back,’ ” he said of his decision to reunite with Coach Andy Reid in Kansas City in August 2016.
