Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. earns a spot on Seattle Seahawks roster

Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. secured a place on the Seattle Seahawks official 53-man roster following an off-season campaign with the team. A former Michigan State football player, Foster spent time working toward a real estate license before his transition to professional football. His progression through the team's training camp was a focal point of the most recent season of HBO's Hard Knocks. The program documented the moment Foster informed his parents of his achievement on Tuesday night. This selection marks the conclusion of his effort to transition from collegiate football to the professional level. The season finale of the team's documentary series is scheduled for broadcast on HBO at 9 p.m. ET.
