Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles took different approaches to their respective meetings with the media Friday. Here are our five takeaways.

3. Nick Foles is a team-first guy

I alluded to this point earlier, but it really comes out the more Foles speaks. He’s not interested in being “the guy” or focusing on winning the starting job. His focus is building relationships with his teammates and coaches and making plays when called upon.

“Whoever is the best person at executing this offense, that can help the Chicago Bears win games and lead this team, should be the starter,” Foles said. “Then the other guys will be there to support him. If for some reason the starter gets hurt, then the guy who is behind him will go in and he will lead the team. That’s how the best teams play, That’s how the best teams work.”

Foles went on to say he wants to help people and develop relationships. He’s seen quite a bit in his career as an eight-year veteran. He believes the key to success is open communication and collaboration. Seeing as he has a Super Bowl ring, he may be right. But again, the contrast from what Foles is saying compared to Trubisky is very interesting.
