How did Foster make the team?

Foster over Coleman is a pretty big shock for the simple fact that Coleman was the first WR off the board in 2016, while 32 teams passed on Foster 250+ times.

 

But when you consider the following, it’s definitely nothing earth shattering- Both offer the ability to stretch the field, but Foster has at least gotten open to draw targets. He knows the playbook, obviously has favor/familiarity with Daboll and his system. Plus I’d be willing to bet Foster was out there with 110% effort being a UDFA with zero guaranteed money, while we all know Coleman lacks the heart to be a difference maker in this league. Now the Bills get to contribute $3 million to his shoe collection.

Foster has a great attitude. He earned his degree and is grateful for his time at Alabama even though his career there didn’t work as he had hoped because of injuries and being overshadowed by Calvin Ridley and other great  WRs.

He could also still end up being cut sometime in the next 24-48 hours... that could definitely still happen.

 

If it does, someone else will grab him.

Speed was the main factor!

 

Right.

He was arguing that because he caught one out of bounds, and ALMOST caught another, the 1 reception on 10 targets was not a real statistic.

Tough to get touches when you play for National Championship teams with great players at WR.

 

Tough to get touches when you're not a good WR.

Maybe for a PS spot

 

he was just passed over 220+ plus times-by every team. Nobody would be jumping to grab him

 

we needed speed, he knows the playbook, So he is still here 

 

he wouldn’t have been a huge priority because most teams have decent speed at WR already, hence UDFA

 

I thought he needed a year on PS to get bigger and stronger but we need speed

Do drops count as touches because technically......?

What did you say Foster’s chance of making the roster was again? I recall 0.

 

And didn’t you say that Coleman was a stone cold lock?
