Colts sign RU's Foster
The Indianapolis Colts signed Rutgers defensive lineman Eric Foster to a free agent contract yesterday.
Foster is the 15th former Scarlet Knight to be on a current NFL roster. He is the third member of last season's team to earn a spot in the NFL, joining running back Ray Rice (second-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Draft) and offensive lineman Jeremy Zuttah (third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers).
Foster, a second-team All- America selection by The Sporting News registered 64 tackles and led RU with 15 tackles for loss in 2007. The All-Big East first-team selection finished second on the squad with seven sacks, including two in the 52-30 International Bowl victory vs. Ball State.
For his career, Foster totaled 88 tackles, 15 sacks and 33 1/2 tackles for loss in 40 career games.
