Jets’ Matt Forte on old RB myth, Fitzpatrick and spinach smoothies

New Jets ballcarrier Matt Forte took a run at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby:

Q: Being as driven as you are, are you out to prove life begins at 30 for a running back?
A: Yeah, of course. When I was first coming up on a contract renewal when I was in Chicago, it was that, “Oh, running backs, the value’s not there.” But then I wanted to break the mold on that because the value is there. If you can run the ball and catch the ball out of the backfield, you’re a valuable asset and you can create mismatches throughout the entire offense.
