You know why I loathe the term, “camp body?”
Ramon Foster is why.
In 2009, I’m sure most fans considered him as such. He was a rookie undrafted free agent. A body, an afterthought. Someone filling space, maybe getting his name called in the preseason finale.
That didn’t happen. Instead, Foster enjoyed a terrific 11 year career. In total, he started 145 games. That’s the second most by any undrafted player in Steelers history, just 15 shy of Donnie Shell’s record. Foster certainly won’t join Shell in the Hall of Fame someday but he’s more than worthy of a spot in Steelers’ greatness.
