Running back

To the surprise of no one, it is clear what the Chicago Bears have spent most of their pre-draft time on. The running back position. In fact, most of these positions discussed earlier only took half of the time that this one position has taken them.

The Chicago Bears have been linked to 17 running backs. Right. That includes using 11 of their draft visits on backs. That is almost half of their total pre-draft visits on one position.

Backs they brought in include Josh Jacobs, Miles Sanders, Trayveon Williams, Devin Singletary, RyQuell Armstead, Mike Weber, Dexter Williams, Jalin Moore, James Williams, Myles Gaskin and Alexander Mattison.

This is not just a lot of running backs, but a lot of different types of backs. They have backs who may be gone by 87, and backs who may fall to a UDFA status. They talked to backs over 220 pounds and under 200 pounds.

This adds to the suspense of who it may be. They could take a back of any caliber at any draft slot and it would not be a shock based on their pre-draft movement.
