After one fantastic season in Cream and Crimson, Jordan Howard will continue his career in the NFL.

Hoosier fans in Chicago have good news -- Jordan Howard will be a Chicago Bear.

Despite spending just one year in Bloomington, running back Jordan Howard etched his name in Hoosier history with one memorable season that ended in a bowl game where the kick was good. With big shoes to fill left by Tevin Coleman, Howard stepped in and finished with 1,213 rushing yards on 196 carries with nine rushing touchdowns and 11 receptions for 106 yards.

His performance earned him a spot on the All-Big Ten first team for both the coaches and media.
