The San Francisco 49ers got a lot of great work out of their 2017 draft class, and they have found at least one cornerstone out of this group. Linebacker Reuben Foster had to deal with a variety of injuries, but when active, Foster joined DeForest Buckner as a cornerstone type of talent.
The 49ers got plenty of production from the rest of their rookie class, but Foster is the one getting the most recognition. ESPN’s Mel Kiper released his all-rookie team for 2017, and Foster joined T.J. Watt and Jarrad Davis as the all-rookie linebackers.
