Who knew that Philadelphia Eagles and former Arizona Wildcats quarterback Nick Foles was a jack of all trades NFL player?Β
While throwing for 215 yards and one touchdown in the first half against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52, Foles showed off his hands on the final drive just before halftime with a touchdown reception from Eagles wide receiver Trey Burton on fourth and goal.Β

No other player in NFL history has thrown and caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl. That catch was Foles' first career reception in the NFL and the only one he had at the UA was against California in 2009.
Foles also one-upped Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who attempted to make a catch, but it went right through his hands.
Tom Brady ROLLS OUT FOR THE CATCH!.... lol jkpic.twitter.com/TtkUqPpsg5

Brady may go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, but Foles has already proven to be a better receiver in the Super Bowl. What a time.
