Ramon Foster knows a thing or two about undrafted free agents. For his money, he played alongside one of the greatest. On a recent appearance on the Raw Room Podcast, Foster said James Harrison was the greatest undrafted player he knew.
“Defensive MVP James Harrison,” Foster immediately said. “All-Pro. Player of the Year.”
Foster didn’t offer too much detail behind his choice though his answer doesn’t require much explanation. Harrison was not only undrafted but nearly fell out of the league, cut multiple times by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. He finally gained traction as a quality special teams player in Pittsburgh and earned his first start in 2004 against the Cleveland Browns when Joey Porter was ejected pre-game for punching RB William Green.
