Foster was initially expected to be a potential top-five pick in the draft, but he slid to No. 31 in large part due to injury concerns about his shoulder. Foster underwent shoulder surgery earlier this year but seems to be on schedule with his recovery. Many teams passed on him because they thought he would need a second surgery and are concerned about his long-term health.
Foster was a star linebacker during his college career at Alabama, and the Niners are expecting him to be a major asset on defense.
