Arian Foster did what he needed to do on Tuesday.
Despite a second-round grade from pro scouts, the hard-running Tennessee tailback decided to stay with the Vols for another year and not enter the NFL Draft.
If Foster remains healthy he will likely exit Knoxville after the 2008 season as the all-time leading Tennessee ball carrier in history.
Foster ran for a career-high 1,193 rushing yards in 2007 and will have a strong collection of offensive linemen returning to lead his path to history.
He is seventh on the Tennessee career rushing list with 2,394 yards.
His efforts place him ahead of Charlie Garner, Travis Stephens, Reggie Cobb and Curt Watson.
The 6-1, 225-pound San Diego native now trails Jay Graham (2,609), Cedric Houston (2,634), Jamal Lewis (2,677), Johnnie Jones (2,852), James Stewart (2,890) and Travis Henry (3,078).
Foster will likely learn a lot that will help him with his future NFL career from new Tennessee running backs assistant Stan Drayton.
Foster had to put his dreams of the NFL on hold for now. Nonetheless, the decision will likely pay off for him down the road.
