Strengths:
Foster was an absolute stud at Alabama. He took home the Butkus Award for the best linebacker in the nation, in 2016. He has great leadership qualities and a high football IQ. A thunderous hitter that does well at filling running lanes. Great at shedding blockers and making plays from sideline-to-sideline. Best suited for a MIKE linebacker roll in the NFL. He is a good athlete that will be able to stay on the field all three-downs. Fast enough to run with most tight ends and running backs in coverage. A top-15 prospect in this years draft.
Weaknesses:
Not a fantastic athlete. Needs to finish tackles, at times tends to leave his feet and go for the monster hit. Plays overaggressive at times which leads to him making mistakes in coverage or against the run.
