Chip Kelly is a 'huge fan' of Eagles QB Foles
Nick Foles - QB - Philadelphia Eagles
Jan. 17, 2013 - 3:55 PM ET

New Eagles coach Chip Kelly revealed at his introductory press conference that he's a "huge fan" of QB Nick Foles.

"We hit him as many times as we could hit someone and he kept getting up," said Kelly. "He's tough, people don't understand how important that is." Asked about his preference for a running QB, Kelly added, "I'll say this: there's perception and reality. Perception is we run our quarterback all the time. Reality is that's not the case." Kelly explained that there's "nothing that's on the board, there's nothing that's off the board" regarding Michael Vick. Although Kelly is still in the process of evaluating personnel and watching film, it certainly appears that he's higher on Foles than Vick.
