Foster is a physical take-on linebacker that also has the quickness to go sideline to sideline. He also has the instincts and film study to diagnose plays and athleticism for pass coverage. Plus he comes from a pro style, 3-4 defense at Alabama so he’ll know what’s going on.

He will be able to go to Indianapolis and take a leadership role on that defense right away. And he will improve the defense to the point where they can compete for the AFC South title. Foster would be a great pick for the Colts right here at No. 14 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
