Foster is apparently a fan of Forks Over Knives – a few days later he tweeted, “Yes I have [seen Forks Over Knives], great film.”

In 2011, Foster ran for 1,224 yards and caught 53 passes, making him one of the top running backs in the game. In March, he reportedly signed a five-year, $43.5 million contract with Houston.
