I don’t think a NFL coach who cares about his career would put a player on a roster just because of a college loyalty. I believe that Foster is on the team because of his demonstrated potential.
His signing with the Bills as a UDFA MAY have had something to do with Daboll. He certainly was on other teams’ radar.
How objective is it to list Foster's weaknesses, but not his strengths?
If my assessment is so far off, why is he in the roster? Are the Bills' coaches Alabama homers too?
Foster has elite speed and he’s able to get off the line of scrimmage. His ability to separate has been impressive.
I guess you need to have patience and lower your expectations for a first year player.
About what? It often takes a receiver two or three years before they are productive. Look at Eric Moulds, for example.
You expect Foster to be All-Pro after 3 games?
Disagree. Very few receivers would even be in a position to attempt to catch some the passes Allen and Foster didnt connect on.
And Foster plays special teams.
I get a chuckle when some folks think that catching a 60 yrd pass when the receiver is running full speed is easy, or when an NFL receiver misses such a pass it’s because he can’t track a ball or he has poor hand eye coordination.
The greatest receiver of all time had many horrible drops.
Didn't mean to be a jerk directing you here, but I don't want a mod after me.
At the tailgate, the Million Dollar Band does the Elephant Stomp before the game. It's very cool.
He was injured, he was on a team loaded with talented WRs, and he didn’t play with good throwing QBs. He’s shown enough that he’s on the roster. Like any rookie WR, there will be growing pains.
