With so many prospects coming out of Alabama with first-round talent on a consistent basis, Crimson Tide linebacker Reuben Foster stands out as one of the most impressive players in this year’s draft class.

When you watch the tape on Foster, his tackles stand out. The Alabama prospect is an absolute thumper that can lay out ball carriers, putting fear in the hearts of offenses. His instincts are also elite, as made evident by this impressive play right here.

Inside linebackers aren’t valued as highly as they used to be in the draft, but Foster is the kind of talent you don’t see very often. Whoever takes him will likely be drafting a future star at the position.
