While fan bases drool over the success of former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott’s stand out rookie season, they are forgetting someone. The 6’0, 222 pound running back drafted out of Indiana University, Jordan Howard.
Jordan Howard accomplished a feat on Sunday that only four other Bears players in history can say they have done. Rush for 1,000+ yards in their rookie season. Howard joins the list of Matt Forte (2008), Anthony Thomas (2001), Rashaan Salaam (1995), and Beattie Feathers (1934). Take into account that Jordan Howard did not start the season as the Chicago Bears’ number one running back.
