When the Indianapolis Colts signed veteran quarterback Nick Foles, the addition made almost too much sense considering the history between him and head coach Frank Reich.
While the Colts have gone through a quarterback carousel that has included five different starting quarterbacks since 2018 (including Matt Ryan), one player Reich has had his eyes on since the beginning has been Foles.
“You guys know I wanted Nick (Foles). I wanted Nick since I’ve been here to be on this team because I think he’s that good of a player,” Reich told reporters Wednesday. “I think he’s the perfect backup quarterback.”
