Arian Foster led all NFL running backs with 45 broken tackles last season, according to Football Outsiders. Fosters total is especially impressive considering the Texans' strong offensive line often kept defenders away from Foster at the line of scrimmage, so many took place in the defensive opponents backfield.

Chris Johnson (41) placed second behind Foster. Part-time backs Chris Ivory, Marshawn Lynch, and LeGarrette Blount topped the list in broken tackles per touch. Other 2011 starters finishing high in broken tackle rate: Darren McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, Fred Jackson, and LeSean McCoy.
 
I will believe in Foster after he does it again... way to many one year wonders out of nowhere for me to blow a top two pick on him

That, and you have Tate right behind, who I think is a much, much more talented back.

The reasoning there is slightly flawed. Breaking an attempted tackle by someone that weighs 190 (ie a corner) is going to far easier than breaking free of someone that weighs 290 (ie a lineman)
