Deshaun Foster: A Bright Future

Deshaun Foster: A Bright Future

  Reader Mail:
Thanks for the emails everyone. Keep it comin'.

I really like the way Carolina has built their team. Deshaun Foster looked awesome when he got the chance to play. Do you think he is a good keeper prospect?- Rocco, Nashville - TN

Is he a good keeper prospect? No. He's a great one! Deshaun Foster was electrifying when he was given the opportunity to be on the field. There is little doubt that Foster is the future at the running back position for Carolina. Stephen Davis is the starter, but at 31-years of age he will be more prone to injury and/or require to be spelled more often. However, it is Foster's supreme talent that will force head coach John Fox to get Foster on the field with regularity before Davis's starting tenure is officially history;

Davis will still be the lead back, but they're working on ways to better utilize the speedy 24-year-old. "I think this year it'll be more of a designed plan," Panthers coach John Fox said. "Last year it was twofold, bringing him (Foster) along from injury and really getting Stephen oiled up also, since he was a first-year guy here. I'm sure DeShaun's comfort level is a lot greater now, so we feel more comfortable giving him more opportunities. "I don't know about more even, but there will be more of a plan to use him than a year ago." - The Herald

While it may still be a year or two away before we see Foster's complete game unleashed and fully utilized, there should be little doubt that Deshaun Foster is a bonafide star in the making.
