8. Arian Foster, RB, Tennessee

Running back Arian Foster wasn’t a household name entering the NFL. The Houston Texans took a risk signing the undrafted free agent in 2009 but it paid off for both parties in the end.

Foster went on to become a four-time Pro Bowler with the Texans. In 2012, he led the NFL in rushing attempts (351). During the 2010 and 2012 season, he led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 16 and 15, respectively.

Foster led the NFL in rushing yards in 2010 as well (1,616). He made 68 starts in 76 games with the Texans racking up 6,472 rushing yards and 54 touchdowns. He also caught 2,268 receiving yards for 14 touchdowns.

Foster averaged 85.2 rushing yards per game in his time with the Texans and a career-high 101.0 rushing yards per game during the 2010 season. Currently, he’s a member of  the Miami Dolphins. However, he appeared in just four games during the 2016 season.
