An undrafted running back out of the University of Tennessee, Foster spent seven seasons with the Texans. During that stretch, he became the most dominant running back in team history, earning the franchise records in career rushing yards (6,472), career rushing touchdowns (54) and total touchdowns (68).

He is also personally familiar with Texans’ playoff football, as he saved some of his most iconic statlines for the postseason and became the first player in NFL history to eclipse 100 rushing yards in each of his first three playoff games. In the 2011 NFL Wild Card, Foster carved up the Cincinatti Bengals’ defense in his playoff debut, rushing for 153 yards and two scores in the 31-10 victory.
Foster retired after a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins in 2016. Since he stepped away from the game, he has been prolific in media. Under the stage name “Bobby Feeno,” Foster released a rap album, titled Flamingo & Koval, under LeBron James’ Uninterrupted record label in 2018. Since 2021, he has co-hosted the Macrodosing podcast for Barstool Sports with PFT Commenter.
