Reuben Foster, Alabama Crimson Tide, Inside Linebacker

Reuben Foster is a terrifying linebacker. Foster is known for being a violent tackler. Foster has good size, standing at 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds.

Per CBS Sports, Foster is projected to be a top-20 pick, although many other draft boards have him as high as a top-five pick.

Foster has incredible instincts and is keenly aware of what team’s offenses are trying to do. He is often seen making tackles for a loss, as he quickly diagnoses the play and snuffs it out. Foster is also very good at defending the pass.
