Reuben Foster's play style is ideally suited for a modern 4-3 base defense that values speed, hitting ability, and coverage versatility from its off-ball linebackers.
Immediate starter at Will or Mike LB, providing exceptional run support and solid pass coverage with a high ceiling as a defensive leader and playmaker.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense that relies on linebackers to primarily stack and shed blocks at the line of scrimmage, minimizing his pursuit and coverage talents.
Foster thrives in schemes that allow him to play fast and attack, leveraging his sideline-to-sideline speed and impact tackling.
Selected #31 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of Alabama.
