With the Bears’ running game looking awful last season it made sense that they would draft a running back early in the draft and that’s why they chose Matt Forte.  Bears’ fans will love Forte as he is a powerful, straight ahead bruising type of running back.  He is 6′1″, 221 pounds but he’s a tad slow running a 4.6 40.  Forte always seems to be falling forward as his best running is usually between the tackles.  He played in 43 games (30 starts) at Tulane and he carried the ball 833 times for 4,265 yards (5.1 ypc) with 39 TD runs.  He also caught 103 passes for 985 yards (9.6 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  Forte will push Cedric Benson for the starting job and he was a solid pick in the 2nd round.
