I mean there was more knock than that... 3 fumbles in 30 touches... slight of frame bad catch % falters in his stack and track of deep ball Lance Zierlien head of NFL scouting reports has him graded as a priority free agent Mind you I didn’t list some of his positives like being extremely explosive, and a very good athlete https://www.nfl.com/prospects/robert-foster?id=32462018-0002-5601-3655-3601824b777a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those are more glaring negatives than the lack of production . He didn’t have great QB play and scouts know that. But He didn’t produce a lot when given the chance Bo Scarborough had little production and was drafted it wasn’t just the production that kept him from being drafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like the other two deep balls he threw to foster that Foster either gave up or started tracking the ball 20 yards too early in the air and missed him by a stride?

You're excited that our WIDE RECEIVER has to be used in ways where he doesn't have to WORRY ABOUT RUNNING ROUTES AND/OR CATCHING THE BALL!? I really hope you're being sarcastic with your post.

Maybe you cant read or missed the news, but Foster is an elite talent who has a top notch pedigree. He doesnt need to run routes or catch with #4.38 speed. I hope YOURE being sarcastic in that you want to pile more onto this young man's plate right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
