More Comfortable In Defense, Mason Foster Ready For Larger Role
Signed midway through the 2015 season, Mason Foster proved to be a valuable veteran for the defense last season. Now he's ready to tackle bigger things in 2016.
When the Washington Redskins signed Mason Foster in September 2015, they simply wanted a linebacker that could add depth to the room.
After Perry Riley Jr. saw his season cut-short due to injury, though, what the defense actually got out of Foster was a productive starter that is now looking to continue his development in Joe Barry’s defense. Certainly no stranger to a leading role -- he’s started 59 of 70 career games -- he’s excited to see what he can do with a full offseason working with the coaching staff and other players.
