What happened

Montorie Foster Jr. spent parts of the past year working as a substitute teacher and pursuing his real estate license. The receiver was waived by the Seahawks in training camp last year, but he never quite gave up on the dream of playing in the NFL. Foster made the most of his opportunity in training camp with the team this year, eventually landing on the 53-man roster for the defending Super Super Bowl champions.
