Foles and keenum were teammates for the rams back in 2015. Theyve gotten very familiar with each other. Being at this stage now just a few years later, nick foles says its been quite a trip. I mean its pretty wild. Absolutely. We were on the same team not too many years ago, and but thats where like i know i is he over and over again cases success and the way he plays doesnt surprise me because him and i were together and we prepared together. We were around each other every day. But i think the big message there no matter what happens, you just got to keep believing in yourself. Keep working hard and just, you know, never give up. Because of that back up quarterback label a lot of people wrote off case keenum this season. Eagles defense have not. Some of these guys have played with keenum before. Others just from watching film of keenum says hes a very shifty guy and theyve gone as far as to compare him to some pretty great names. Hes slippery. He reminds me a of russell wilson. When i say that, you know he moves around and throw the ball and tuck it and run. I seen him duck a lot and guys just reaching for him and he slips out of peoples hands. I played with case. Hes a gun slinger. He kind of reminds me of a little mini brett favre or something. Thats the way i think about h him. Great competitor. Really good player and hell be tough.
