Miami Dolphins: Arian Foster drawing great early reviews

The Miami Dolphins have to be excited about the addition of Arian Foster, especially after he reportedly ‘annihilated’ his conditioning test…

Arian Foster is one of the best running backs in the NFL when healthy, but the Houston Texans decided to move on this offseason and he is now a member of the Miami Dolphins.

As Dolphins camp opened up with Foster on the PUP list, he made his way back onto the practice field this weekend and apparently destroyed his conditioning test.

That’s great news for Dolphins fans, as well as Fantasy Football players. Foster is always a guy you want to have on your fantasy football team, but he’s going to help Miami try and take down New England in the AFC East.

And he’s going to look good doing it.

I have to say that Foster looks incredibly clean with Ricky Williams’ old jersey number and the visor there. There’s always going to be worry about whether or not Foster can stay healthy for a full season, but if he avoids major injury, he can be a huge asset to this team.

As for how long it’s going to take him to learn this new offense? Foster decided that was a clown question…

Last season, Foster averaged under three yards per carry in four games. He looked a lot better as a pass catcher than a runner, but there are likely a number of reasons for the inconsistency in the running game. The Dolphins have Jay Ajayi to spell Foster, but if he can be the three-down back he was in Houston, he’ll be a candidate for the NFL’s comeback player of the year.

It will be interesting to see how Adam Gase uses his diverse skill set within this offense.
