5. Tulane players have been good to the Bears
The last time the Bears selected a player from the New Orleans university was a running back by the name of Matt Forte back in 2008. Forte quickly became one of the best Bears draft picks since 2000 and is the second-leading rusher in team history, behind Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton.
What does Forte’s success mean for Mooney? Honestly, nothing. Although it’s worth noting Mooney has already reached out to Forte about what it’s like to play in Chicago.
The Bears had an entirely different front office back in 2008 so even the scouting department is different. But it’s never a bad thing when you can trace successful draft picks back to a certain school.
