Foster is certainly playing the if he can stay healthy for a full season role right now. I listened to TV analysts and game commentators label Foster as a change of pace back, but I have to think they just said it because of his role in the offense with Davis still in the lineup. Foster's skill sets defeinitely starter-quality and he has the ability to have an all-pro year at least once in his career. His acceleration is great--one of his first games as a pro, he blew past Darrell Green for a long score. He runs tought and he's an excellent receiver. At this point, you just have to hope you can get him at a low enough spot and get lucky to pick him the year (if/when) it happens.
