DeShaun Foster owns two of the greatest runs in Panthers playoff history – a short one for a touchdown when he ran around or through five Philadelphia Eagles’ defenders in the 2003 NFC championship game, and then a 33-yard touchdown run in the subsequent Super Bowl vs. the New England Patriots.
Born in Charlotte, he now coaches running backs at UCLA, his alma mater. We caught up with him recently to see what he’s up to and to reminisce about his time with the Panthers, when he rushed for 3,336 yards and 10 touchdowns (plus four receiving touchdowns) from 2003 through 2007.
