Chicago Bears running backs coach David Walker said Khalil Herbert will get the first reps with the starters as the Bears get rolling. Then, the competition is on.
The Chicago Bears figured to be in the market for a running back when David Montgomery exited via free agency and they signed two, adding D’Onta Foreman and Travis Homer.
Foreman is on a one-year, $2 million deal with half of it guaranteed. He stepped in as an able replacement for Christian McCaffery in Carolina after the Panthers traded the star to the San Francisco 49ers. Homer got a two-year, $4 million deal with $1.75 million guaranteed. He’s projected to be a core special teams player and could factor in on third downs.
How it all plays out will be interesting for more than just fantasy football enthusiasts wondering who will be RB1 and how the workload will be divided. Foreman is a bruising back between the tackles. Herbert has a little more speed and ability to make big plays. Neither is elite in the passing game.
“Just his ability to hit the home run,” coach Matt Eberflus said when asked what he liked about Herbert. “He’s got great vision. He’s got great cutback ability. He can take the ball outside and bounce it outside, but he’s really good at cutting it back when it’s there. We’re excited where he is.”Where Herbert needs to expand his game is as a receiver and pass blocker. He averaged 19.
