Reuben Foster was on the phone with the Saints when the 49ers called to draft him

The San Francisco 49ers introduced linebacker Reuben Foster and defensive tackle Solomon Thomas to the media on Friday, and Foster had a funny story about when he got the call that he had been drafted.

The 49ers moved up from pick No. 34 to No. 31 to make the pick. There have since been reports the New Orleans Saints were looking at Foster with the 32nd pick. It turns out, they called Foster to tell him they were going to pick him. Foster said they called and asked to speak to his girlfriend, who was from Louisiana.
