Initial scouting report
"From a measurable and athletic testing standpoint, Foskey is exactly what NFL talent evaluators covet at the position. There is a bit of stiffness in his ankles at the high side of his rush, which limits his change of direction. The California native has been incredibly productive throughout his collegiate career." -- CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Josh Edwards
