56. The Cincinnati Bengals have and explosive offense with Andy Dalton and A.J. Green over there. But you can keep the ball away from the Bengals by simply running the ball on them.

He can still be a thumper linebacker in the base defense but has to come out on passing downs. Reuben Foster is an every down linebacker that can wear the green dot on his helmet.</p><div class=. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster. 9. player

Vontaze Burfict can play middle linebacker but that’s not a guy you can depend on. You don’t need the leader of your defense getting suspended every time you turn around. Foster is a disciplined kid from a disciplined program that can start your defense in a new direction.

But at the same time he is as physical as any linebacker in the NFL is. He also has great speed to go sideline to sideline with and agility to go with it for pass coverage. The Cincinnati Bengals defense gets better the day Foster walks into the building.
