Love the turnaround in attitude and work ethic with the results speaking loudly for him. What a 180 from earlier this season. Again I say kudos to Foster and the Bills' coaches (especially Robiskie) for getting this kid to wake up.
EXAMINING THE JOSH ALLEN AND ROBERT FOSTER CONNECTION
The player in which the Bills invested the most draft capital and a player who was beyond a long shot somehow wound up being the best passing combination on Buffalo’s roster in 2018. Most may have expected the first half of that combination to be Josh Allen, but it’s unlikely anyone saw this coming from Robert Foster.
Foster, who has appeared in just 11 of the team’s 14 games, is only 24 yards behind the team leader in receiving yardage (Zay Jones, 492) and has just 19 receptions on the season.
The undrafted rookie has gone from released, to the practice squad, to trusted target for Josh Allen in the span of five weeks.
“It’s how hard Robert works,” said Allen, when asked why he trusts Foster so much. “In practice he’s always on the top of the speed charts. He’s extremely competitive being an undrafted rookie free agent. He’s got a lot to prove. The last four games have shown what he’s capable of. I know that early on in the year he wasn’t making these types of plays. He’s put his head down and gone to work. He’s a great story. I love the kid. He works his tail off and he gives me everything he’s got in practice and in games he produces.”
The trust between the two rookies reached another level on Sunday. Allen went from hitting Foster when he was open to giving the deep threat chances to make a play on the ball even when he’s covered.
