The Eagles drafted Foles out of Arizona in the third round and have long believed he has the makeup of an NFL starting quarterback. Foles has already shown good mobility for his size (6-6, 243) and the ability to keep his eye upfield when forced out of the pocket.

In the preseason, he threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Damaris Johnson after being flushed way to his right after his protection broke down against a four-man Steelers rush.In his debut against Dallas, after replacing Vick, Foles managed to avoid a sack and scramble away from pressure before hitting a wide-open Jeremy Maclin for a 44-yard touchdown.
Foles also made a couple of dangerous throws against the Cowboys, as rookies tend to do, but generally threw with accuracy and showed a very strong arm.
