Great Blue North says Foster is leaning toward entering the draft, and may have a 2nd round grade. I've seen him a little, but would like some insight. Someone give me a full report.From GBN:

Junior RB Arian Foster is reportedly undecided about his immediate future but is also thought to be leaning towards going pro. Foster was rated as a possible second rounder by the committee after he ran for almost 1,200 yards last fall.

he doesn't have the speed/size combination.

Arian is more of a bruising back, he showed a lot of burst when he began his TENN career...but kind of dwindled.

I'd be shocked if he went in the 2nd round.

Similar to Travis Henry?

Nowhere close to Travis Henry.With the other people coming out, I can't see Foster breaking the top-8 in RBs, which means there's no way he's going in the 2nd round unless he has a combine like Chris Henry last year (he won't.)

nothing like Henry, closer to Jamal Lewis....but not as good as Jamal.

Nowhere close to as good as Jamal. More likely to end up in sentences with "Cobb" and "Riggs" and "Houston" and some folks like that then Henry, Lewis, Garner, or Stewart.

Thanks guys. I was a little surprised by the statement about the 2nd round grade, especially since nobody is talking about him.

I'm sure he was too.

Just for fun, I looked up Travis Henry's draft report. He got a 9 on the Woderlic. That explains a lot.

definitely agree with the Riggs and Houston comparisons....figured most folks wouldn't be able to indentify their style.He has a Jamal Lewis style runner....but not as good as Lewis, I'd think he was a second day guy for sure.
