Many NFL players will be able to tell you stories of how they can remember being a kid and watching their favorite teams play in the Super Bowl. That's not the case for Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox. During a press conference earlier today, the Super Bowl participant dropped somewhat of a bombshell when he said that he's never even watched the big game.

Cox was asked to recall his favorite Super Bowl memory, to which he said, "I don't watch football." You'd think NFL players would be some of the most avid, longtime sports fans in the world, but Cox is really more about the action over observing. "I don't watch sports," Cox added during the conference.

Not watching sports obviously isn't hurting Cox, since he is playing against the Patriots in the Super Bowl in a little over a week.
