Arian Foster RB 6'1 215 Tennessee

Foster became a starter at the mid way point of his freshman season and finished with 879 yards and five touchdowns on the ground to go with 148 yards on 14 receptions. Injuries limited him as a sophomore to just 322 yards and five touchdowns rushing. Foster bounced back with a big junior year, rushing for a career high 1,193 yards and 12 touchdowns, while hauling in 39 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns. His numbers dipped quite a bit as a senior, down to just 570 yards on the ground and one touchdown and 19 catches for 166 yards.

Strengths

Foster is a nice sized tailback that runs well between the tackles. He has a sturdy frame that could possibly carry even more weight at the next level. He is a tough runner that battles for yardage after contact. Foster is a pretty good athlete that actually shows the ability to cut and make the first defender miss and get upfield to pick up more yardage. He has developed into a solid receiver out of the backfield, displaying the hands needed to be a legit threat in the passing game.

Weaknesses

Foster does not possess any explosive trait to his game. He does not have the quickness or elusiveness to make defenders miss on a consistent basis or the power to run defenders over.

Future

Foster may be limited in terms of upside because he is not a true homerun threat but he is a player that will pick up consistent yardage and catch the football when you put him on the field. He had a terrible senior season, but so did the entire Volunteer team aside from safety Eric Berry. He still has some ability that could attract some teams to him and find him a home as a backup running back.
