Meet the Next Possible Franchise Quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles

On Friday the Philadelphia Eagles drafted what could be the franchise's future quarterback in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft (88th overall).

Philadelphia Eagles fans, meet Nick Foles, the 6 foot 5 inch, 240 pound quarterback of of the University of Arizona. Foles was considered by most, a top five quarterback of the 2012 draft class, but needs some time to develop his skill set.

What better coaches are out there to develop a young quarterback then head coach Andy Reid and Offensive Coordinater Marty Mornenweig?

We saw what they did with Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, and most recently Michael Vick, so we can assume that Nick Foles is in good hands.

In 2011 Foles completed 286 of 426 passes for 3,191 yards and 20 touchdowns for the Arizona Wildcats.

Prior to the draft,  Foles sat down with ESPN Monday Night Football analyst and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Superbowl Head Coach Jon Gruden, for Gruden's ESPN Quarterback Camp.

Eagles fans, meet who could be Philadelphia's next franchise quarterback some time down the road, Nick Foles.
