It was only a few months ago when it seemed like Jeremy Langford would be the unquestioned starter of the Chicago Bears. However, the summer has completely changed the outlook of the Bears’ backfield. While Langford holds the starting spot heading into training camp, here is why he won’t hold onto the starting job for long.
With the 106th in the 2015 draft, the Bears selected Jeremy Langford out of Michigan State. It was clear Langford wasn’t just picked for depth purposes, he was picked to one day lead the Bears’ backfield after a productive collegiate career. Langford appeared to be in the right place at the right time when Matt Forte went down with injury in week 8.
