Feeley could have easily been overlooked. It certainly didn't help when he injured his elbow after making eight starts as a junior and wouldn't start a game during his senior season. However, he performed well in pre-draft showcases, and was chosen by the Eagles in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. You hear all these great things about Philadelphia, about the fans, and about the sports culture there.

We had a great sports culture in Eugene, Oregon, with the Ducks, so I was looking forward to that. A backup as a rookie to Donovan McNabb and Koy Detmer, similar to when he was in college, Feeley could have been overlooked. And he basically was until the regular-season finale in Tampa Bay. Feeley took advantage of that chance and threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes — 26 seconds apart — to Dameane Douglas, and led the Eagles to a come-from-behind victory over the Buccaneers.

The outcome was great. It kind of reassured my belief that I belonged in the league. After McNabb and Detmer went down with injuries in , Feeley stepped in and started the final five games of the regular season. He led the Eagles to four wins in that span, helping secure home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Traded to Miami in , Feeley spent time with the Dolphins and San Diego Chargers before returning to the Eagles as a free agent in So, I was getting courted by both of those guys. But my love for the area of Philadelphia, and for Andy, and the offense, it just kind of made sense to come back home. To be a guy that, I think, maybe only played nine or 10 games in college, to get drafted and have the ability to sustain an year career through ups and downs," Feeley says.
