Just so were clear, that's a serious comp for Ron to make for Gibson. That's a big deal. And the coach isnt just casually throwing that out there.

We’ve all been extremely impressed with what we’ve seen from rookie RB Antonio Gibson so far through the first 11 games of his career.
Washington head coach Ron Rivera seems to be equally, if not more impressed than we have been, throwing out that the young back reminds him of Arian Foster, a great former running back in the NFL who was absolutely dominant for several years during his prime.
Through the first handful of games for Gibson in Washington, he has out-performed all expectations, leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns for rookies, and he seems to be getting better with each and every week. If the trajectory that he is on would see him become Arian Foster levels of great, that would be incredible news for Washington.
