When the 49ers drafted Reuben Foster in the 2017 NFL draft, he was seen as one of the best defensive players of the entire draft, but he came with question marks, notably his durability and character.

When Reuben Foster was on the field, he was a game changer, the 49ers defense was a very different defense when he was on the field—you don’t see or say that about a rookie. It’s a testament to how much talent Foster has.
