At 6'3 285, Foreman has great size, quickness, and strength to dish out massive blocks at the line of scrimmage and beyond. I love seeing how Foreman plays through the whistle.

He can rush the passer and defend the run at a high level, using his size, speed, and strength to beat offensive linemen and meet the ball carrier for big stops behind or at the line of scrimmage."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm a big fan of what Foreman can do on both sides of the ball, but especially on offense.
