With the 84th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected inside linebacker Mason Foster from the Washington Huskies. Foster was a major producer in the linebacking corps for the Huskies and racked up huge numbers throughout his career. Foster was a tackling machine at Washington, and though his measurables aren’t outstanding, Foster was more than impressive.
