UCLA’s Demetric Felton Jr. is headed to the NFL, just like he always said he would [Los Angeles Times]
One day, the 7-year-old who slept with his football had something he wanted to tell his father. Without a shred of hesitation, the boy announced that he would play running back in college and go on to the NFL.
Tempering expectations without crushing his son’s dream, the father told his son to play Pop Warner first and maybe make a high school team before thinking about college or the NFL.
Sure thing, Dad.
Having completed prolific Pop Warner, high school and college careers, Demetric Felton Jr. took another step toward making good on his boyhood pledge Sunday.
