Considering he’s the only player on the team with a national championship ring, from his 2005 walk-on season with the North Carolina basketball team, you’d think wide receiver Brooks Foster would flash the bling around the football locker room once in a while. Nope. Not his style. “It’s too big for me, too flashy, so I just leave it at home,’’ the senior said. “Plus I don’t want to lose it or scratch it up or anything.” (Raleigh News & Observer)
