Ruben Foster Sent Home From Combine

[Coogs]

Apparently he got in a heated argument with a hospital worker.

If you're basing this thinking off the combine incident, then more power to you. But being a Alabama fan and watching most the games... he's not that type of player at all. Very heady on the field - he's more Bobby Wagner than Burfict.

Good article on Foster:

Not just that. Even after he had time to think about it, he looked like more of an idiot on social media.

Bottom line - he's too dumb to play for Andy.

From a long article breaking down top 50 prospects. Seems like some character concerns outside of the hospital incident.

REUBEN FOSTER, ILB, Alabama: 6-0, 229. Follows in the footsteps of Crimson Tide MLBs C.J. Mosley and Reggie Ragland. “He’s better than Ragland from last year but Mosley is a little bit more athletic,” said one scout. “This guy has a little more thump to him (than Mosley). He’s good, not tremendous. He’s had some issues.” Foster’s difficult past came into focus Saturday when it was reported by ESPN that he was sent home from the combine after a “heated argument” with a hospital worker in Indianapolis. “This guy is fast, explosive, the real deal,” another scout said. “He may slide because of background. He’s got all kinds of stuff.”

We have a tremendous need in the middle, I don't know what kind of stuff is on his background but, they have to at least consider him strongly if he's available.

That being said, this incident screams dumbass to me but what do I know?

These guys have agents by the time they get to the combine right? I would think they would be telling them if anyone disrespects you or anything of the sort just smile and say have a nice day.

Only losing franchises don't look at a guy because he doesn't smile and nod like a choir boy. This is football where guys are trying to hurt each other (not injure) and dominate in a type of physical war. Foster is that dude.
