The Chicago Bears’ running back position had a makeover this offseason with Jordan Howard (traded) and Benny Cunningham (free agent) both gone, and Mike Davis added in free agency. The Davis pickup didn’t elicit a lot of excitement from the fanbase, but he’s coming off a productive year in Seattle where he averaged 4.6 yards per carry.
The explosive Tarik Cohen is still around, as is Taquan Mizzell and Ryan Nall, but those two are fringe roster guys. Newly signed Cordarrelle Patterson, a wide receiver by trade, has lined up at tailback the last few years and figures to do the same with the Bears on occasion.
