Foreman entered the NFL with great promise. The only Texas running back other than Ricky Williams to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a season, he was selected by the Texans in the third round of the 2017 draft. But in the 10th game of his rookie year, Foreman suffered a torn Achilles tendon near the end of a 34-yard touchdown run, ending his season after rushing for 327 yards and two TDs.
He missed most of the 2018 season while recovering from the injury, playing in just one game Dec. 23. Foreman was then waived by the Texans Aug. 5, 2019, and claimed by the Colts. But he sustained a torn biceps in training camp and was sidelined for the entire season.
Even through all the adversity, Foreman never doubted himself.
“That is one thing just to always keep that confidence,” he said, “always believe in yourself, never let the moment get too big for you. I think I strive for those moments.”
Foreman intends to pick up this year in Chicago where he left off the past two seasons with the Titans and Panthers. With David Montgomery signing with the Lions, Foreman joins Khalil Herbert in the Bears backfield.
“I can’t really speak for the coaches and the plan that they have,” Foreman said. “I came here to try to be the guy. I think if I didn’t come here with that mentality, I would be doing myself a disservice. I think I would be doing the team a disservice. All due respect, humble confidence, not trying to make it seem like anything other than just exactly what it is. That’s just me being confident in myself and feeling like I could come in and be the guy and be a guy that people count on and I can help us win.
“I didn’t come here to take a backseat to anybody. I’m a team guy. I want to do anything I can to do to help in any role that they put me in. But [I’m] coming here with the mindset of wanting to be the guy, wanting to be a person who can help this team and make a lot of plays for this team. I know that’s my mentality and I plan on doing that.”
