After a disappointing DSFL season led to a third-round draft selection by the Yellowknife Wraiths, Will Foster has been eager to make an impression for his team. Sorely lacking depth on the defensive line, the Wraiths called up Foster rather than giving him another season of development on the DSFL’s Kansas City Coyotes. Foster has shown up to camp with fire in his belly, eager to earn playing time and show he belongs in the NSFL.
This has led to several tense moments between Foster and Wraiths quarterback Brad Pennington. Foster and Pennington have engaged in constant trash talk throughout camp, with Foster targeting Pennington on every rep and Pennington growing weary of the rookie’s eagerness, especially during a time of the year when avoiding contact or injuries is at a premium.
To have some fun at the rookie’s expense (while maybe also making a point to the eager youngster), Pennington brought a bubble bumper suit to camp one day and the coaching staff forced Foster to go through one workout in the large ball. It made for quite the hilarious spectacle as the 300-pound lineman bumbled and rolled through drills, but it was all in good fun and lightened the tension between the two.
