After going 3-13, the Chicago Bears are trying to put last year behind them. In fact, during the 2017 draft, the Bears picked up quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the first round and running back Tarik Cohen in the fourth round. Plus the Bears were hoping to continue to build on the players they had remaining on the roster.
One of the most notable players the Bears wanted to build on was running back Jordan Howard. Howard had a productive year in 2016. He rushed for 1,313 yards with six touchdowns and added 29 receptions for 298 receiving yards with one touchdown.
