As of right now, rookie running back Jordan Howard seems to be the Bears’ best pick from this year’s draft. Howard has rushed for 229 yards in the last two games, and has also added six receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown to his stat line. The fifth-round pick is averaging a league-leading 5.8 yards per carry on the season, and could continue to eat up chunks of yardage against a Jacksonville defense that is allowing an average of 4.0 yards per carry. Only one running back has rushed for over 100 yards against the Jaguars this year, and Howard could be the second one to do so, if given enough carries.
