Hated when we played him, but easily one of my favorite running backs in the past decade.  Won't miss him torching us, but he will be missed.

A true hidden gem who went on and had a very good career. Glad to see he is retiring and giving his body some much needed rest.

Loved watching him play in College. Couldn't believe he went undrafted...then boom he made his presence known in Houston.

 

Fun to watch.  Happy retirement,  Arian.

He could have went down as one of the greatest if he didn't have so many injury issues IMO.

When he was healthy and on the field he was pretty amazing. I can't imagine what his body is going to feel like in a few years.

I heard his soft tissue injuries went up once he changed his diet or something like that. Or maybe it is just that RB position??? It does not have much longevity anyways. 

 

I am just glad he had nearly a decade of highly productive years. He was fun to watch run, it was almost like he glided once he hit a gap. It was less violent than Adrian Peterson, his running style but nevertheless just as effective.

It's a shame he wasted his career in Houston guys like that come far and few in-between wish he was able to retire with a ring .

I distinctly remember his first huge game against the Colts.  I was so angry that we couldn't stop some undrafted guy from running all over us.  Little did I know he had some of the best patience and vision as any RB in the league.

As a Colts fan, I hated Arian Foster.. The guy would always cut back right into a huge hole in the Colts D and take it for a good gain.  Time after time, year after year.

 

As a football fan you could not help cheer for a guy that went undrafted, earned his way into the league, was a professional in every sense of the word, would celebrate something good (usually from a teammate not his own accomplishment) but would not over celebrate the mundane.  A guy that was a real lunch pale type player, showed up to work and did his job everyday from all that I have read.  It's too bad injuries took their toll.

 

The league needs more players like Foster and fewer players that think they are super heroes but act like spoiled children when things don't go their way.

This was a good article on Arian Foster, I thought:
