Nick Foles

Nick Foles was the breakout star of the 2013 season at the quarterback position for the Philadelphia Eagles. His passes reached the end zone 27 times, only throwing two interceptions for a league-leading TD/INT ratio of 13.5.

Superstar running back LeSean McCoy gets another weapon in the backfield with the addition of Darren Sproles. Foles gets a veteran wideout in Jeremy Maclin back after missing all of 2013 with an injury. The Eagles lost DeSean Jackson, who really spreads the field, to Washington in the offseason. We’ll see if Riley Cooper can be the reliable second wide receiver to help Foles.

Foles only throwing a pair of interceptions in that many games was definitely a fluke, so he’ll regress, but with a solid number of starts under his belt, Foles can boost his number of touchdowns while minimizing his mistakes. He’ll probably throw for 30 touchdowns and about 10 interceptions.
