He didn’t have the longest career, but he certainly had an impactful one—perhaps physical would be an even more apt description. Barry Foster spent just five years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he remains a fan favorite for some, and elicits fond memories from many for his performances, especially during the 1992 season.
That year, his third in the league, Foster was made a full-time starter, and got more than a full-time workload, registering an astronomical 390 carries on the season, churning out 1690 rushing yards, both of those numbers registering as franchise-highs. He also rushed for 11 touchdowns and had another 344 yards on 50 receptions, eclipsing 2000 yards from scrimmage.
