🏈 Robert Foster, #BuiltByBama

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

I know we have a Bama Guys in the NFL thread, but I felt this story needed its own attention.

Awesome sauce! So cool to see Foster, despite his struggles here and then subsequently not being drafted because of said struggles, go on and make a name for himself in the NFL on and off the field..

I heard that story differently, that the lady called around to find shoes, the store said they had one last pair and they would hold. She rushed down only to find the shoes were gone. She didnt want to spend more for the other shoes, but Robert said he cover it.

What a gesture. Impressive. We get this bad rap that we bring in thugs and guys who can’t read or write, but if you take a closer look, that’s not the story at all. We’ve had and have some really good kids with good work ethic, morals and discipline.

I really hate he never got more PT and balls thrown his way when he came back from his injury. He always seemed like stud material when he arrived and to start that one season, pre-injury. Another guy that had an awesome preseason but I haven’t heard much since, I’d he made the team or not, was Cam Sims.

The season of giving. He had the means and was willing to share. Excellent gesture and it will serve him well for the rest of his life.
