His hoop dreams unrealized, Brooks Foster nears NFL career
Posted Apr 25, 2009

But the Boiling Springs and UNC product was long under the assumption he’d be in the NBA. Instead, Foster is expected to be a second-day selection in this weekend’s NFL draft. While it’s obvious the talented wide receiver made the right decision on which sport to pursue, the outcome actually came almost by accident.
