Former Princeton football player Ryan Quigley was seriously wounded and lost his best friend and colleague -teammate, Tiger Bech, in the violent terrorist attack in New Orleans on January 1st. But Quigley will have the opportunity to write the tragic story when he returns next weekend as a guest of honor for Philadelphia Eagles.
Eagles invited Quigley and Bech’s sister to participate in their divisional round -match against Los Angeles Rams last month, but this week they invited him to their training facility for the purpose of surprising him with Super Bowl Lix Tickets.

“We’ll tell you the real reason we brought you hit,” Eagles Defensive End Brandon Graham said in a video shared by the team. “It’s okay if you don’t feel it, but we would very much like you down to the Super Bowl.”
This year’s Super Bowl will host the city of New Orleans. It takes place just over a month after the attack. Quigley returns to town, something he promised never to do again.
“New Year’s Eve was my first time in New Orleans ever, it was my first night, and I told myself it should be the last,” he told the team’s site. “But then I thought about it, because all year I have told Tiger if Eagles are doing the Super Bowl this year, I promised him I would take him and he is from Louisiana.”
