Reuben Foster on Off-Field Issues: 'Crazy, Knowing That Football Can Be Gone'

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster addressed his off-field issues following the team's practice on Saturday.

Per NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, Foster called this offseason "a big learning experience" that gave him a new perspective on things.

"I learn from every mistake, everything that's said, all my flaws," he said. "I learned from a lot of things and just grew from it. It made me appreciate football a lot better. It was crazy, knowing that football can be gone. Being back on this field with my brothers and these coaches, man, is a blessing.
