In another video, Gillie wrapped Eagles general manager Howie Roseman into a giant bear hug, and called him the "Greatest GM in the World."

Former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles

Nick Foles, the only other Eagles quarterback to win a Lombardi Trophy, was busy posting on social media all throughout the game.

Enjoy every moment with your family, loved ones, and everyone in Philadelphia. Have fun on Broad Street! God bless!"

He also poked some fun at former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who lost to Foles in Super Bowl LIII and did the color commentary for FOX during Super Bowl LIX. "It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm."
