Arian Foster

The scouts weren't too much on the mark about Foster or he would have been drafted. Even our porn mustached mentally deficient QB was drafted.

:crazy: Actually he was a projected high draft pick after his sophomore and junior year. he was arguably the top all purpose college back in the country. his senoir yr (which he decided to stay for, he could of entered the draft after his junior year)08 absoultely killed his draft stock, his senior stats were awful due to the inept "clawfense", an offense ranked at the bottom of the FBS.

Arian is 227 pounds. That's a pretty damn big back for an everydown guy, and he delivers a blow upon contact. Most people here have always criticized his speed, but his speed is pretty good. It's not phenomenal, but it's pretty good. He looks a lot slower than he really is because he's a long strider.

He has gotten faster and is pretty fast for his 227lbs. This is him out running Mike Huff (former 1st round draft pick out of Texas) of the edge. :rock:

He played through a lot of injuries here. The dude is a warrior. Made of good stuff.

And he is faster. You're right.

I know he had shoulder problems and I believe an ankle but he never had a serious injury is what I was getting at.

Once again, I'm not knocking Arian.

1 great game, 2 good games, and 3 kinda average games.....I don't see him finishing as the leading rusher.
Don't get me wrong, I was a Foster fan, and it's good to see him do well, I just don't think he'll finish number 1. Top 5 is a possibility though

I love it when people engage mouth without knowing what they are talking about....k:

The first one was in the South Carolina game in 2005, at the goal line going in with a 12-7 second quarter lead. The Vols lost 16-15.

The second one was in the Outback Bowl at the end of the 2006 season. In a 10-10 ball game with ten minutes left, Foster fumbled at the Penn State 12, and it was returned 88 yards for a touchdown. Penn State won 20-10.

The next one was at Florida in 2007, with the Vols trailing 28-20 with the ball in the third quarter. Florida picked it up and ran it back for six. They never looked back, 59-20.

At UCLA in 2008, Foster fumbled going inside the five yard line with the Vols ahead 14-7 on the first drive of the third quarter. UCLA won in overtime.

A few weeks later at Auburn, another Foster fumble led to another defensive touchdown. The Vols lost 14-12.

Five fumbles in four years. These are to name a few when the game was on the line. There were more....:salute: You think we win those games Fulmer is still here...Yea that's what I thought....

My fav arian foster highlight was the throwing of the football/15 yard penatly in the UK game in OT. JMO
