What does bringing Philadelphia's first-ever Super Bowl get you? For Nick Foles, a bronze statue alongside Eagles coach Doug Pederson.Β
On Wednesday morning, the former Arizona Wildcat became immortal just inside Headhouse Plaza at Lincoln Financial Field. Bud Light unveiled the statue, which took four months to create and stands just over 9 feet tall.
The statue is of the moment Foles and Pederson shared on the sideline before running the famous trick play known as "The Philly Special," or "Philly Philly," as Foles said during Super Bowl 52 against the New England Patriots.Β
The play resulted in a Foles touchdown reception.
At the base of the statue is the play Foles proposed to Pederson: "You want Philly Philly?"

The man behind the statue is Raymond Gibby, who is known for creating bronzed sculptures in Utah.Β
Per NBC Sports in Philadelphia, the statue will remain in the same spot for at least the 2019 season, but the team is working toward making it a permanent fixture.
