Given that the WR group is crowded and the RB group isn't, my guess is he'll be competing for James White's roster spot.
I am intrigued to see how D.J Foster runs because that would surely help his case. IF he is James White 2.0 in the running department no thanks.
James White went to Wisconsin. That school is basically Bust U from a RB perspective. We won't know how Foster runs until the preseason, but it's hard to see him being worse than White. If he's a better runner between the tackles add to the fact that he's a smooth receiver out of the backfield, White is gone by the end of TC.
No. You hear all the time teams talking to players about how they will possibly pick them here. Then they do or don't. They aren't under contract to anyone so you can tamper and call to your hearts content.
The NFL could try possibly but I don't see it even with as corrupt as the NFL is.
Teams call players before they draft them all the time.
You can't tamper with someone who isn't under contract.
At one point DJ Foster had agreed to stay home and join Cardinals as a RB, but then something changed...Bill Belichick called him.
Inside DJ Foster's NFL decision
NOTE: According to Mike Lyoko, DJ had the top Short Shuttle at the combine and the 4th best 3-cone. Ran mid 4.4s at his pro day. Definitely one to watch.
I like that he said he knew it was the Patriots all along. Me too DJ. From Dec 2014:
I've always liked him. Was a little disappointed he dropped weight and switched to WR but that versatility will help him with the Pats. Those reception numbers I quoted above were him playing as a RB. Three consecutive years with over 500 yard receptions whilst playing as a RB speaks to that versatility. I was thrilled by this signing.
He had 3 consecutive seasons with a 500 yard reception? What the hell field do they use down at AZ State??
