Robert Foster

At the end of the 2018 season, it would be hard to imagine that Robert Foster would be competing for a roster spot and not necessarily a starting spot in this offense. The former Alabama wide receiver had a breakout season in the second half of that year.

He finished the 2018 season with 541 receiving yards and three touchdowns but in the final seven games had three 100+ receiving games and had at least three targets. In the final four games alone, he saw those targets jump to at least five per game and had at least four receptions in each of those.

However, last offseason he struggled during OTAs and training camp and never was a factor in this offense. He is only 25 years old and at 6’2″ and 196 has a good combination of size and speed that he could bounce back. The competition is going to be much tougher this time around and he has probably the biggest uphill climb of the five players listed.
