Foster, a force on the Steelers offensive line for the past 11 seasons and the second-longest tenured player in Steelers history, announced his retirement from the NFL team in March. He first signed on with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2009 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee.

One of the most respected players on the Steelers roster throughout his career, he has consistently spoken out through the media when the time was right. Foster has also been a leader in the community, helping to spearhead the team's Social Justice Program the last two seasons. A Tennessee native, Foster played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers, earning the nickname of "The Big Ragu" in a career total of 44 games. He is a Vol For Life, with All-SEC honors as a freshman and junior.
