He was over weight then and it showed in the way he played but it was forgiven because he was asked to be an enforcer flanked by two much better linebackers on either side. Foster last season was closer to the Mauluga we saw in college but not really remotely similar to the guy we see playing this year at 225 for Alabama. This year you have a very agile guy who can change direction and stop cut back runners even if he over pursues.
Foster is better in coverage, but Rey was a more effective pass rusher. Like I said, they are similar, but not clones.
Foster will not likely be playing at 225-230 in the NFL. If he does, he will probably have a hard time holding up over time, or at the very least, shift to WLB. CJ Mosely had to bulk up from his college weight, as well. He's playing at 240.
