Brooks Foster wants the ball, too

Posted Aug 5, 2008

Brooks Foster knows that many consider him North Carolina's third receiver, behind play-maker Hakeem Nicks and speedster Brandon Tate. But after a summer of building his leg strength to try to ward off injury, he's determined to surprise some people. "I definitely have a lot of personal goals ... I really want 1,000 yards,'' said Foster, who wants to play in the NFL after this season. (Raleigh News & Observer)
