“Looking at strictly on-field performance, there’s never been a linebacker prospect like Reuben Foster in the PFF College era. Foster produced an elite 92.9 overall grade in his final collegiate season in 2016, which still holds as the best ever recorded by an off-ball linebacker. His run-defense was on another level, as he owned a 94.9 grade in that facet. There was just as much to like with his coverage ability, too, as he never allowed 50 yards in a single game in 2016 and not a single touchdown while breaking up four passes. Keep in mind, he played in the toughest conference in the country.”
