Want to have an even more surreal feeling about former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles being in the Super Bowl?
Look at him with five-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, who is playing for the eighth time in the NFL’s grandest game. The two met Monday in Minneapolis at the Super Bowl Opening Night festivities leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl.
One of the more interesting tidbits: Foles was 13 years old, only in the seventh grade, when Brady won his first Super Bowl.
Here are some more I-can’t-believe-it moments between Foles and Brady yesterday:
