The Bears got to see a lot of Garrett Wolfe in college as he played at Northern Illinois. With the Bears getting rid of Thomas Jones and with Cedric Benson’s injury history they felt they needed to protect themselves and that’s why they picked Wolfe. Wolfe is a small guy at 5′7″, 182 pounds but he has the heart of a lion. Wolfe is very fast as he runs a 4.43 40 yard dash, and he’s got a complete arsenal of moves. No running back in the country was more productive than Wolfe was in college! In 33 games (28 starts) for Northern Illinois, Wolfe carried the football 807 times for 5,164 yards (6.4 ypc) with 52 TD runs. He also caught 58 passes for 588 yards (10.1 avg) with 5 TD catches. Many experts project him as nothing more than a 3rd down back and kick returner in the Pros…..but I have to disagree after watching him run all over Ohio State and Michigan in college. Don’t bet against Wolfe having a good NFL career.
