Rocky Landing Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 2 hours ago, Maynard said: Yeah, I’m not sure I understand the hype around him. Very little production in college. I will admit that I only saw him play a few times, so my opinion doesn’t matter much. What is it that people see in Foster?? The possibility of a UDFA making the 53 is always a compelling story this time of year. The hype has less to do with his ability, and more to do with the notion that someone with so little experience could become a decent NFL player. I've been following DeBeer for these reasons, more or less. It helps that it's a position of such acute need. And, if our staff can find these sorts of people, then that gives us hope and confidence in "The Process," as it were.
transplantbillsfan Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Well this'd make a helluva lotta sense considering his familiarity with Dabol and how much the offense we're supposedly going to run relies on WR/TE/RB knowledge.

How long did it take Fred to become a starter. Odds say Foster will be on PS this year. Though WR group is one position group someone can impress ans break into major contributor status right away. But just like Riley i think he spends most of the year on PS

Martin Nance, Da'Rick Rogers, and Brandon Reilly all say "hello". Couldn't say it any better. Every year fans walk around with boners over a guy who is a UDFA claiming he's the 2nd coming. Looks like Foster and his 5 play/catch highlight video over X amount of years is the next guy to the plate. Edited June 10, 2018 by Your Brown Eye
baskingridgebillsfan Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 at worst he makes the practice squad. When is comes to Wide receiver the Bills will be in talent acquisition mode for at least the next 10 months.
Rob's House Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I don't understand the hype around this guy. Has he done something to leapfrog the two WRs they drafted in front of him?

It didn’t help that Alabama has a running QB who isn’t a very good passer and he had Calvin Ridley ahead of him. 2

ToGoGo Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Looking at tape, he runs like the wind. Running style reminds me of James Lofton. He's a gadget guy you need to get into open space somehow. End-arounds, screens, etc. Ceiling is an elite gadget guy, used on very specific types of plays.

KD in CA Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 If he was such a steal, wouldn't Saban have clued in his buddy Belichick about it?

The Patriots usually have the most every year. Considering how weak we are at wr, it wouldn't shock me to see Foster make this team....

26CornerBlitz Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Foster making plays every day according to Chris Brown. Looking forward to seeing how he does in camp and into the preseason. 1

It's entirely possible that Daboll is his best buddy for a few months and then, say, Kim Jong Un.
