"It was almost paralyzing to go back and play," Foles said, in regards to thinking about retiring years ago. "And I prayed about it, and I realized that the tougher decision -- the thing I was more afraid of, was to go back and play. I would have been fine going a different way in life...but I knew to make more growth, I had to go back in and face that fear."
