Bears boast quality depth in backfield

The following is the second of eight position previews in advance of training camp.

The Bears will head to Bourbonnais in two weeks with a group of talented young running backs, led by 2015 fourth-round draft pick Jeremy Langford.

Last year as a rookie the former Michigan State standout rushed for 537 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns on 148 carries and caught 22 passes for 279 yards and one TD.

The Bears' faith in Langford and 2014 fourth-round pick Ka'Deem Carey was a major factor in the team's decision not to offer a contract to veteran Matt Forte.
