Rookie Matt Forte discusses his offseason at Bears camp and his role in the offense.
Chicago sent a loud message to Benson when it took Forte with the 44th overall pick and thrust them into a competition that never materialized. The Bears waived Benson in June after three ineffective, injury-plagued years following his second alcohol-related arrest in a month.Unless the Bears sign a veteran, Forte figures to get most of the carries.
He finished second on Tulane's career list with 4,265 yards rushing and 5,261 all-purpose yards while setting school records in rushing touchdowns (39), total touchdowns (44) and yards rushing per game (99.2).
First-round pick Chris Williams remains unsigned.
