It's still unclear what the plan will be with the Bears running backs in 2023, but this feels as if it might be trending toward a dual-back situation. If someone does emerge as a lead back, Khalil Herbert could be the favorite thanks to his efficiency and his familiarity with the coaching staff and system. He's already caught as many passes (23) in two seasons as new RB acquistion D'Onta Foreman has in his six-year NFL career.
We're counting down the top 25 most important Bears for the 2023 season. What makes one player more important than another? That's subjective, of course. But for our purposes it comes down to this: Are the Bears worse off if this player can't play? Does this player have untapped potential or past greatness to live up to? Is his story going to be one fans follow closely this season?
Looking back: Khalil Herbert entered the 2022 season coming off an impressive rookie performance. The 2021 sixth-round draft pick totaled 433 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns as a rookie in 2021. A year later, he proved to be a more-than-capable second option behind lead running back David Montgomery. Herbert was the most efficient running back in the NFL, averaging 5.7 yards per carry on 129 carries. He totaled 731 yards and 4 touchdowns in 13 games.
Looking forward: It's still unclear what the plan will be with the running backs, but this feels as if it might be trending toward a dual-back situation. It's possible Herbert or Foreman will emerge as the prototypical"lead back," but it's also possible the Bears use them roughly equally. Last year's snap counts could've been closer to 50-50 between Herbert and Montgomery if Herbert hadn't missed a month with a hip injury .
