Previously, I’ve looked at the rosters in the NFC North and ranked the projected merits of the quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends. With those sometimes painful components of the offense considered, it’s time to give some attention to the running backs.
Instead of withholding judgment until the end, I am just going to say upfront that the Chicago Bears have the best running back situation in the NFC North. First, they have Jordan Howard, the only 2016 Pro Bowler in the division (yes, he was an alternate, but no division rival can claim even that).
