WR Robert Foster

(I was wondering if you talked to Head Coach Brian Flores before signing here or General Manager Chris Grier and what did they tell you they expected your role to be?) – “Just coming on, trying to make the best of every opportunity that’s given and just continue to contribute as best as I can.”

(Have they mentioned special teams? Obviously besides your speed as a receiver, you have value with special teams as a gunner?) – “They just told me to just try to make the best of every opportunity that’s given to me in all three phases of the game.”

(I wanted to ask you about your recollections of playing with QB Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama and also your thoughts about being reunited with him in Miami?) – “It was great, great experience. I’m really just excited to reestablish and come back and get back on that road and get back to working with him and contributing with all the quarterbacks.”

(Have you kept in touch with QB Tua Tagovailoa or have you known him throughout the process?) – “Honestly I haven’t gotten ahold of Tua yet, but I’m planning on getting ahold of him pretty soon.”

(Have you been asked about your decision to join the Dolphins? What went into it and if you had other offers?) – “I have not been asked. I just – Miami was willing to give me an opportunity and they just want me to contribute and make the best of what (opportunity) has been given. I’m glad to be here and I’m ready to just contribute as best as I can within all phases of the game.”

(How would you say in your own words how your NFL career has gone so far? What would you like to see improve or you can get better at so far?) – “Honestly, just growing in all phases throughout the game. Just trying to continue to get better and grow basically.”

(I saw someone nicknamed you “Road Runner” once. Is that a nickname you like and how would you describe your speed?) – “I think I got that nickname in college from one game, but I like the nickname. I love it. I love to be called ‘Road Runner.’ Obviously I’m known for my speed and trying to make the best of like getting past people, so I love the nickname.”

(What’s it going to be like for you being on the other side of a Bills-Dolphins rivalry?) – “It’s the same for every team. It’s not about no rivalries; it’s making the best of it and making plays and playing football.”

(What were your first thoughts of QB Tua Tagovailoa when you saw him as a freshman and the growth that he’s made in his game over the years? Have you kept attention to it from afar?) – “I thought Tua did well. Like I said, we’ve all got room for improvement and I believe that we’re all going to grow and do better and try to make the best of being a Miami Dolphin.”

(One of the things we in the media like to do is try to set up 40-yard dash competitions. They rarely actually happen unless we’re not around. Are you familiar with WR Jakeem Grant’s speed at all and would you be willing to take him on?) – “I am very familiar with Jakeem (Grant), but I’d rather just take what I have to do for right now. I’ll leave it in the park for right now. (laughter)”

(Can’t let you go without asking you if you’re a Road Runner fan.) – “(laughter) No, I’m not a Road Runner fan.”
