Foster went from being undrafted out of Tennessee in 2009 to leading the NFL in rushing yards (1,616), rushing touchdowns (16), and yards from scrimmage (2,220) the following year. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Texans and is the franchise’s all-time leader in rushing yards (6,472) and touchdowns (54). Unfortunately, injuries limited Foster to just four games last season with the Texans and four this year with the Dolphins.
