A day after being drafted, Forte attended the Tulane football banquet last Sunday with his parents. ''You know, he didn't have to do that,'' Toledo said. The next day he was at the school to work out -- twice. Forte went through conditioning exercises in the morning and was back in the afternoon to take part in drills with former teammates."

Pixote Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 One thing for sure, he has a better character & work ethic than Benson has had since arriving. I still hold out hopes Benson can turn it around with a better OL but I am very anxious to see Forte in a Bears Uniform and get a chance to take over the starters position at RB.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well it seems like everyday he's getting closer and closer to becoming our starting running back with Cedric's antics. Lets hope all those carries in college don't wear on him at the pro level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 He only had a lot of carries last year, prior to that he wasn't used as much. That's why he wasn't on the radar for a lot of teams at the start of the college season. Even after all his rushing yards he still wasn't taken very seriously until his performance at the senior bowl and the combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
