The memories Foster brought to Houston were unforgettable. I'll never forget that era for the Texans. Foster, Andre Johnson, Schaub, Watt. Such a good team
One of the most underrated running backs in the last fifteen years. His runs were at times so silky smooth that he looked like he was doing so effortlessly. That stiff was not a joke.
One of the smoothest runners in league history. He ran upright but that cutback and open-field moves for a big guy were just filthy. As a Ravens fan, he terrified me even though there were only a few matchups against him in his prime.
@@whatsyourpointfacts7082 Foster was better at his peak but Bell wasn’t a scrub. He had three monster seasons between ‘14 and ‘17 and would have likely had a fourth were it not for injury. As great Foster was, he only had 4 big campaigns himself.
What a class act Arian Foster is. His little bow of respect in the end zone is a breath of fresh air in modern day sports. Not only was he a great running back, but also a remarkable human being.. A million best wishes. Arian..
This man was an absolute pleasure to watch. He looked like he was barely running which is the mark of a speedster. And then if he got caught he would throw a defender aside with his strength. He truly was a thoroughbred. Texans fans I hope you enjoyed watching him and respect him as much as I did and do. He is amazing.
He was so graceful in his cutbacks and patience and vision. His strides were almost Earl Campbell like. He was fun to watch,he’s def at the top of the list of best of Texans rb’s
Chargers fan here. LT was so good, Sproles got held back, IMO. If he shared a backfield with anyone else for the first half of his career, that man would be in the hall of fame.
He made it look easy. Thats what amazed me about his running style. He looked so smooth like he wasnt trying hard but he would run over and past guys like nothing.
i became a texans fan in 2010, right when we started becoming a playoff contender. i will never forget the memories that he’s made for this team. he will always be my favorite texan of all time.
Kubiak sure spammed that Outside Zone run play; but jeez its like a clinic in these highlights, every block, and Arian Foster's reads are just, textbook hard as f to stop. No wonder he, Shanahan, and son, Mcvey crafted whole offenses off that one play.
He was so special, such a smooth smart runner. He knew how to find the gaps, and him being an upright runner with such smoothness. There weren't many like him in NFL history.
Me and Arian been homies since he was about 10 years old . My good friends little brother . We come from Albuquerque and he made us all proud. True Albuquerque story coming from nothing and going to the top . He ranks along the likes of Johnny tapia for us . Much love my boy ✊🏽
That stiff arm down the sideline for a TD in the 2011 wild card game is one of my favorite all time Texans memories. I will remember watching that live for the remainder of my days. 2nd favorite Texan of all time, Mr. Smooth. Close 2nd to JJ
I miss the “old” school days where a team could be a threat with a dominant duo of wr and rb. Charles and bowe and Johnson and Foster were my two favorite.
It’s such a cool sacrifice he made letting his career get ruined by 2015 by the NFL scriptwriters, not many would make such a brave sacrifice for the sake of storytelling
Damn this was my childhood growing up, watching Sunday football with my dad. Foster came up out of no where and truly became one is the Texans best running backs if not the best.
2011 was the best Texans team in their history for sure. Their O-line was ridiculous, 2 of the best playmakers in Foster and Andre Johnson on offense, and their defense was by far the best it’s ever been with guys like Watt, prime juiced up Cushing, prime Demico Ryans, prime Johnathan Joseph, AJ Bouye, and they were just deep on the depth chart that year. If Shaub didn’t get hurt that year, they could’ve at the very least beat the Ravens and went to the AFC Championship game. 2012 was statistically our best team, but their o-line and defense just wasn’t the same as 2011. That was the year Watt broke out and became one of the best defensive players in history. Man I hope coach D Ryans can come in and bring that shit back.
Arian Foster was a problem during that stretch definitely a top 5 running back in the league at that time. Also he was really good on screens and pads plays catching out the backfield in general and his one cut break away when finding the hole.
My favorite Texans era with great tailback full back tight end and receivers. Foster would always dive for extra yards every time. Foster ran behind a good o line and pro bowler fullback. Pierce has a little of foster in him
Does your old school fanship in the city still rock Oiler jerseys from time to time? Or just all Texans? Outta curiosity. Like you go to some Ravens games and we will see some Baltimore Colts jerseys with Jonny Unitas. Wondering if yall link the two as well.
The best at the one cut and go. He had an amazing o- line, and Vonte was an absolute unit. Wish they'd had one more offensive piece, or even defensive maybe to compete with the patriots or colts. The NFL script had those 2 teams set up for awhile.
Long time Texans fan here. Some key notes to Foster's success, during his time, he had the best Texans frontline ever, blocking and making holes for him. Foster reminds me of a little Adrian Peterson, some Sean Alexander, and maybe a little of CJ. He wasn't the best compared to each, but his vision and RB IQ kept him close to them. Plus, his run was smooth.
He was fun to watch and entertaining to listen to. I felt like he was a guy who said smart things, but not always in a smart way, which made him interesting.
You guys make the best career highlights videos! If you want to do another undrafted player how about willie parker? He may not have the stats of foster but he still had a successful 4 year stretch during the steelers 2000s super bowl teams
Man his full speed run looked like a light jog, and was DUSTING folks. Like idk he was so unique, not a hall of famer, but you cant ever forget him he just brought a different demintion to the game, if i had to say someone who plays like him today. Maybe Austin Ekler. And even that is a slight stretch, because he was just HIM lol
@@ethandegge3127 yea see its hard to put a name to him because he was so damn unique, and in Madden. Omg unstoppable in the open field, one tackle wasnt gonna do it
I've been training with NFL athletes for over 10 years, if you think for a moment that Arian Foster wasn't actually taking ankles, im not sure what to tell you
The memories Foster brought to Houston were unforgettable. I'll never forget that era for the Texans. Foster, Andre Johnson, Schaub, Watt. Such a good team
2011 till 2014 was a fun time to watch the Texans. Don’t forget Brian Cushing even if he was on steroids

His cut Stepbacks was sick, good Receiving Back, and the stiff arms. He was legit during his prime 2010-2014.

Definitely wouldn’t call Arian Foster a “speedster”

He wasn’t a burner but he had patience, vision, & versatility…was definitely fun to watch!
He could still turn on the jets tho for sure like D Henry
As a Steelers fan, foster was always one of my favorite backs
One of the smoothest runners of all time
Haven't had a back like him since he left. Great times
Right! Houston almost had something with Blue...almost, but Arian Foster was different.
Best RB in the league from 2010-2012. No one was messing w him
If i had to pick one word to describe his running style it would be smooth! Wasnt a texans fan but I loved watching this guy growing up
One of the more unique running backs in the early 2010s
Foster was a beast
Foster, CJ2K, MJD, and Sproles were so underrated during their careers. Wish i was old enough to see them play
They only were somewhat underrated overshadowed by Adrian Peterson da 🐐 of that era
Sheesh how old are you lol
They weren’t underrated when they played but have become somewhat forgotten over time. They were all acknowledged as elite and fantasy monsters
CJ2K was not underrated at all😂
You probably don’t remember back then, they always talked about him
Chargers fan here. LT was so good, Sproles got held back, IMO. If he shared a backfield with anyone else for the first half of his career, that man would be in the hall of fame.
One of my favorite running styles of all time
Arian Foster, Andre Johnson, Matt Schaub and J.J. Watt in the early 2010s. Man, those were some memorable seasons I tell ya for us Texans fans. 🙏🤘
Pierce, Metchie/Tank, Stroud and Will Anderson bright future ahead
🫡🫵🏽🗣🤘🏽🤘🏽🔜🔜🔜🔜
Such good talent but never won shyt
@@jackblack7797that's only 4 people lol the rest of the team was all mid. Having Matt Schaub as your QB won't win anyone any championships either.
I’m only 12 so I don’t remember f*** n***ga
He made it look easy. Thats what amazed me about his running style. He looked so smooth like he wasnt trying hard but he would run over and past guys like nothing.
Smoothest running back of all time. The vision and the cutback ability on the zone runs were unmatched. Fun to watch.
As a houston texan fan, great memories. I hope our team can do well this year.
Pierce boutta go crazy 😈
Not a Texans fan but Foster was one of my favorite running backs in his heyday. He was a beast and I love that TD celebration.
Thanks to whoever put this reel together. Good memories. Damn we ran this man to death.
You still cant go to a Houston game without seeing a Foster jersey lol
Dead ass and andre lol I still got both of mines
the first jersey i ever bought
@@jerrycoreas5339 the one jersey i need but don’t have 🥲

Most underrated RB of the 2010s
He could do anything he wanted with a football, sadly injuries ruined his hall of fame trajectory
He was a great player for my VOLS also.
RIP Jacoby Jones ❤ seeing him win a ring in Baltimore made my heart full as a Texans fan
Me and Arian been homies since he was about 10 years old . My good friends little brother . We come from Albuquerque and he made us all proud. True Albuquerque story coming from nothing and going to the top . He ranks along the likes of Johnny tapia for us . Much love my boy ✊🏽
I didn’t even realize that Arian Foster switched his uniform number from 37 to 23 until now!
Best RB to play pro football in the city of Houston since Earl Campbell
As a South African he was the reason I got into American Football. By far my fav player!
Underrated back. Crazy that he only played 8 years.
8 is great for RB
@@avacadomangobanana2588 fr wtf is the guy on about, 8 years is insane for a back
@@renloytexactly
Underrated? Really? I thought he was overrated. People used to compare him to AP and Shady and I didn't think he belonged in that class.
8 years on a team that had one of the poorest offensive lines. Surprised he lasted that long.
AWESOME player. It was amazing to watch an undrafted back run for 100 yards week after week on the ticker at the bottom of the screen.
smoothest runner I've seen
Coming from a Dallas Fan i got to admit he was nice i wnjoyed watching him run that rock
My fav. He was a top 3 back with Adrian Peterson and beast mode
Watching this made me forget how good Vonta Leach was. Foster was fun to watch. He was so smooth.
one of the most underrated players of all time
Man this was the best time to be a Texans fan 🙏🏽
Some of the nastiest cuts I've ever seen oml

Bro he was so nice , thanks for giving him his roses now 💪🏾
Arian foster was the man! For his relatively short career.
Still have his jersey from middle school lol dude was the best player in the nfl for like 3 or 4 years straight
I’m not even a Texans fan but he was my favorite rb he could do it all 🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏🙏🙏
I miss the “old” school days where a team could be a threat with a dominant duo of wr and rb. Charles and bowe and Johnson and Foster were my two favorite.
Foster and Terrell Davjs were the ultimate zone blocking running back. Special cuts, patience and vision Foster had
i remember being in the stands watching him at Tennessee. he was a beast crazy he went undrafted
It’s such a cool sacrifice he made letting his career get ruined by 2015 by the NFL scriptwriters, not many would make such a brave sacrifice for the sake of storytelling

I don’t really like Foster as a person but man he was one of my favorite players on the Texans for years
One of my favorite players ever, just cause he was a grinder, that one cut he had was lethal, smooth glider, he was that dude
My favorite back ever. He used to look like he was gliding. Reminded me of when I was younger and would watch Lenny Moore highlights.
Greatest one cut back I’ve seen play
One of the best dead leg move ever!
Smoothest runner since Marcus Allen. Just made it look effortless, almost like he was floating. Unbelievable balance as well.
His vision was phenomenal
