Mike Quick on Eagles playing and broadcast career, plus "Philly Special"

from In The Front Row Podcast · host Carver Court Productions

Mike Quick grew up in the small town on Hamlet, NC as the youngest of 9 kids raised by his mom, Mary. Quick played multiple sports at Richmond Senor HS before attending Fork Union Academy in Virginia. He would go on to play football at NC State from 1978-81 before the Philadelphia Eagles drafted him 20th overall in 1982.  During his 9 years with the Eagles, Quick became the favorite target of quarterback Ron Jaworski and is credited with setting an NFL record with a 99-yard touchdown reception in 1985. Quick later became the favorite target of a young Randall Cunningham before injuries forced him to retire in 1990. In 1998, Quick was hand-selected by Eagles play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese as his new analyst. Now in his 25th season in that role, Quick looks back at some great moments including the Super Bowl LII victory over the Patriots that included the famous play referred to as the "Philly Special". Quick also shares his thoughts on Veterans Stadium (the Vet) in Philadelphia, the Philly fans, the NFC East rivalries and the players he went up against. He also tells us about a beer named after him and Reese, his guest appearance on "The Goldbergs" and gives us his thoughts on this year's Eagles.
