OXNARD, Calif. -- When you think of the most widely respected NFL reporters, Peter King of Sports Illustrated’s The MMQB is right at the top of the list.
And yesterday, the longtime football columnist had some words of praise for new Rams quarterback Nick Foles.
“I’ve always been high on Foles,” King said in an interview with stlouisrams.com. “Nick Foles is a guy who knows when to push the envelope, but he’s not one of the guys who will make the dumb throw that leads to the interception.”
While King called Foles’ first year as a starter in Philadelphia “magical” based on his 27 touchdowns to only two interceptions, the columnist added the quarterback’s demeanor has likely endeared him to head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead.
