UCLA tailback Derrick Coleman has hearing aids for both ears. Coleman was diagnosed with hearing problems when he was about one year old and started wearing hearing aids at the age of four. But now, Coleman is one of four freshman tailbacks helping the UCLA Bruins football team. Despite having had arthroscopic surgery on his knee in August, Coleman is the Bruins' leading rusher and holds the #2 spot behind senior Kahlil Bell - even though he has played in only four of the team's six games.
