Hes not too small, 6 1 225. The NFL is moving towards faster linebackers, who are naturally a little lighter, to keep up with the offenses of today. Hes the #1 rated ILB heading into the draft.
Good player but a lil too small to be elite in the NFL.

Reuben Foster weighs 228 and just had a spectacular rookie season. Pro football focus ranked him as the fourth best linebacker in the league this past season. A lot of personnel directors and head coaches dont want 250 pound middle linebackers anymore.

It should come as no surprise that D4H had Foster listed as one of his least favorite picks in the draft.

And he just got arrested for weed in Alabama.
Anyone who thinks this guy will play in the league for long time is fooling himself.
Its the offseason why cant he smoke some trees only thing they care about is will he pass his drug tests during the season
Its a shame anybody gets arrested for weed these days it should be a ticket unless he was dumb enough to have over an oz
Just saw a player that is 100x the linebacker Roquan Smith is. Remember this name.
Leighton Vander Esch.
Future Hall of Famer and easily the best defensive player in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Hmm, CBS mock drafter moves Vander Esch into his 1st round, D4H "sees" him that afternoon.

I think you know me by now that I just don't go with the consensus.
I make my own conclusions on prospects after watching them.
There is nothing wrong with seeing the guys out there people are touting and then reviewing their film. Especially small school guys who I don't get a chance to watch during the college football season.
FTR it wasn't CBS that led me to Vander Esch. It was Mike Mayock who had him ranked as the 3rd best inside linebacker in the draft. I had never heard of him so decided to watch tape on him.
