Forte spent the first eight years of his career with the Chicago Bears, and while he may not have been in the class of the late Walter Payton and Gale Sayers, he has been a hard-working, fast and productive back every step of the way.

Forte has the ability to glide past tacklers, and while it may not look like he is running fast, that is just an illusion. Forte ran the 40 in 4.46 when he came out of Tulane prior to the 2008 season, and he is still quite explosive.
