Now the competition might not be great in Conference USA, but Forte was the only weapon Tulane had. Teams would stack 8 in the box routinely against him, and he still had 2100+ yards. He also can catch the ball out of the backfield. I think he will be a solid NFL back. Not the next Payton, or Barry, or LT, but solid. Tulane is also D1-A, Georgia Southern(where Peterson) is not. Also FWIW Peterson was not drafted to be a number one back. A solid backup, who contributes greatly on special teams is exactly what he was expected to be. </p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/28/bears_draft_rec.php#comment-1349699 http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/28/bears_draft_rec.php#comment-1349699 Comments Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:05:44 -0600 <p>Tulane running back? Yeah, we might as well have looked in the JuCo draft pool. Unless he is a huge surprise he will fall the way of Adrian Peterson.</p>
