Chargers running back coach Derrick Foster comes from a small rural town many people probably have never heard of. He played college football at Division II Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri before getting his coaching start at Valdosta State University.
While his football journey ended short of the NFL, Foster still feels like a kindred spirit alongside Austin Ekeler who knows a thing or two about coming out of a small town (Eaton, Colorado) before playing football at small school (Western State) that even the biggest college football die-hards aren’t aware of.
But as destiny would have it, each individual has found themselves as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers.
