Pass protection to determine Bears' backup running back
Pass protection is going to be a key variable for determining the backup running back for the Chicago Bears.
What It Means:
Jacquizz Rodgers has the edge over Ka'Deem Carey, Daniel Thomas, and Jeremy Langford. The preseason might be the deciding time for the competition.
Whoever wins might still have trouble seeing the field, as Matt Forte saw 266 carries and 100 receptions last season. Forte is projected to see 283 carries and 63 receptions this year, according to our algorithms.
