Cohen not satisfied with success as rookie

After a stellar rookie year with the Bears in 2017, former North Carolina A&T star Tarik Cohen insists that he wasn’t treated any differently when he returned to his alma mater during the offseason—with one exception.

Given how well Cohen performed last year, it’s easy to understand why his signature is in such great demand. The dynamic running back became the first NFL rookie to produce a touchdown on a rush, reception, pass and punt return in a single season since Bears Hall of Famer Gale Sayers in 1965 and the first NFL player to do so since Terry Metcalf in 1975.
