Bears 2020 training camp preview: Running backs

We’re taking a look at Bears running backs, where the biggest question is who will backup lead back David Montgomery.

Tarik Cohen has thrived when utilized as an overall playmaker on offense, where he can showcase his speed and elusiveness. But last season didn’t go as planned for the former fourth-round pick. Last season, Cohen rushed for 213 yards on 64 carries (3.3 yards per carry) and caught a career-high 79 passes for 456 yards and three touchdowns.

While Cohen figures to be the next option after Montgomery, he thrives more as an overall offensive weapon than a traditional running back with his skillset. And it’s up to Nagy to utilize Cohen’s skillset to get the most out of him in the run game and the pass game, which only serves to benefit the offense.
