You know the story. Once upon a time the Texans signed a running back from Tennessee. This running back would make the team through the practice squad, and eventually worked his way to the roster. To end the 2009 season he had 39 carries for 216 yards and 3 touchdowns, and started the final game of the season in Houston’s first win against the New England Patriots. The following year he was the team’s primary running back, and a full blown super star.
Arian Foster is the poster every undrafted free agent’s closet. He’s the grand narrative, the beautiful story, the all-time ideal, whenever those who are spurned and upset, aspire to once they receive their phone call and find a team to sign with.
