Ever since Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert came into the league, he’s had to play second fiddle. During his rookie season, he played behind both David Montgomery and Damien Williams. Last year, he remained behind Montgomery, all while averaging the most yards per carry of any Bears running back the last two seasons (4.2 in 2021 and 5.7 in 2022).
This year, Herbert is getting a fair shot at being the starter but faces competition in veteran D’Onta Foreman and rookie Roschon Johnson. Despite the new faces, however, the third-year running back is fully prepared to become the team’s RB1.
