Fans can meet Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox ahead of Super Bowl LII this week.

The three-time Pro Bowler will have a meet-and-greet with fans at the Rhawnhurst Modell's at 2327 Cottman Ave. on tonight from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is free to attend and does not require an RSVP.

The event will be a rare public appearance from Cox as he prepares to head to Minnesota for Super Bowl LII. The game will serve as Cox's first Super Bowl appearance of his career, and the Eagles first Super Bowl appearance since 2004. Cox also claimed this week that he has never watched a Super Bowl before, primarily because he just doesn't watch sports.

The Eagles will face off against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 4. The game will air on NBC, and kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Philadelphians Pink and Leslie Odom Jr. will sing the National Anthem and "America the Beautiful," respectively.
