Asked why former #Dolphins RB Arian Foster is retiring, it’s because his heart couldn’t take another rehab, even for a minor injury. Wow.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 25, 2016

Arian Foster wrote on @uninterrupted “I’m walking away with peace.” Always on his own terms, Foster’s retirement is a perfect example.

Think of all the time Arian Foster has missed. Still no one has more 100-yard rushing games since 2010 (31) or TDs from scrimmage (65)

Duane Brown, one of Arian Foster's closer friends had no idea he retired today. Said the fluidity he ran with was unmatched. Special player
