1. I watched him play in college
When I was a kid in Miami. The Canes even wasted him at WR one year. Awesome spin moves and great receiver out of the backfield. That's what I'll always remember Chuck Foreman for, along with holding the ball a bit loosely in one hand very frequently.

2. One of the greats.
There are so many Vikings that would be immortal right now if they had managed to win just one of those Super Bowls. Sadly, most of pro sports doesn't view your accomplishments the same way unless you win a championship.

3. I've heard him interviewed before, and he said he always loved....
...basketball, and he found football easy, because he applied basketball techniques to it. He said in basketball, one is always setting the opponent up with a move, or counter move. He applied that to the football field. He said he always looked at the football field as one big basketball court. It's easy to see that in those videos.

5. They say that about SD TE Antonio Gates, too.
Basketball techniques applied to football. And look how good he is.
