It Might Not Have Been a Classy Statement

I recently read that UCLA Coach Bob Toledo declared that DeShaun Foster was in “a class of his own” when compared to any of the other running backs he has been involved with over the years. When reminded that this group included Ricky Bell, Charles White and Marcus Allen, he went on to declare that Foster “is the best I’ve ever coached.”

Toledo is absolutely right. Foster is “in a class of his own.” He stands outside, peering through the window, dreaming of what it might be like, but knowing he’ll never get in.
