Bears fans expect Khalil Herbert to lead the team in rushing in 2023

Earlier this week, we asked you who you thought would lead the Chicago Bears (-1)

in rushing in 2023 and if you thought the Bears would repeat as the NFL’s rushing leader this season. I was a bit surprised by the results.

When the Bears drafted running back Roschon Johnson in the fourth round, the talk around social media, our comment section, and local sports radio was that his all-around game would eventually see him become Chicago’s RB1. Khalil Herbert would begin the year as the starter, but by mid-season, it would be the RoJo show.
