According to NFL senior analyst, Gil Brandt, the St. Louis Rams’ newly acquired quarterback, Nick Foles, showed some appreciation for a U.S. military member on a recent flight.
Last week on a flight to St. Louis, Rams QB Nick Foles traded his first-class seat to a military service member and took his seat in coach.

Before being shipped out of Philadelphia, Foles had a sterling reputation of being a real genuine guy, so it’s great to see that transpiring over in St. Louis airspace as well.
The former Philadelphia Eagle took a page out of Russell Wilson’s good guy playbook with the gallant gesture, but instead, took the coach class seat in stride as a means of giving the U.S. service member presumably a much cozier flight.
Patriotism aside, you’ve got to respect the move, because any Bro who’s tall like Foles knows that being 6’6″ stuffed into coach class like a sardine is definitely not the most pleasant way to spend a flight.
Good looks, Nick. We salute the move, and of course, all of our armed forces, serving and veteran alike.
Cue the “U-S-A!” chants!
