The Bears have some decent running backs. They have Jordan Howard who has been one of their most consistent players in the last two seasons. There is the undersized but highly effective Tarik Cohen who burst onto the scene in his first professional game. After that, there is Benny Cunningham who may or may not be back. Then you have the mysterious Taquan Mizzell.
Now the Bears don’t need a running back but what if Barley became available at the eighth spot in the 2018 NFL Draft? Would the Bears even be the slightest bit tempted to see what their offense would be like with a dynamic playmaker like that?
