Lawrence Edward Foote, Jr. (born June 12, 1980 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American football linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. He attended college at the University of Michigan and was a fourth round draft pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. Larry graduated from Pershing High School.
Foote was a role player for much of his early career, but he had a breakout year in 2005. He started all 16 regular season games for the Steelers, recording 102 tackles and 3 quarterback sacks. Foote also had a key interception of Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer during the 2005 AFC Championship Game. The Broncos, trailing in the game, returned a Steeler kick to midfield which threatned to shift the momentum away from the Steelers. However on the next play from scrimmage, Foote intercepted Plummer's pass and effectively ended the Broncos rally. Foote and the Steelers won Super Bowl XL two weeks later.
