D’Onta Foreman is heading to Chicago.
D’Onta Foreman has found a new home as he inks a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears. The former Texas Longhorn standout is finding his footing in the NFL.
Foreman enjoyed the best season of his professional career with the Carolina Panthers in 2022. He ran for 914 yards and five touchdowns on a solid 4.5 yards per carry clip.
The Houston Texans drafted Foreman in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, where he played two seasons before being released. Foreman revitalized his career in Tennesee in 2021, filling in for an injured Derrick Henry to help the Titans reach the playoffs.
Foreman is one of a handful of players brought in by Chicago to bolster the roster this offseason. He should play a significant role in the Bears’ offense with David Montgumery heading to Detriot.

Spring practice is a chance for Texas to put it all together before the 2023 season.
Texas football is getting into the full swing of spring practice. The Longhorns hit the field for the first time this week to kick off a crucial development time for the program.
Pressure is building on Steve Sarkisian to compete for a Big 12 title in 2023 before Texas moves to the SEC the following year. Texas took a take forward a season ago and has the roster to make another jump in the right direction.
Texas returns lots of production on both sides of the football, including starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, star wide receiver Xavier Worthy and All-Big 12 linebacker Jaylan Ford.

Bijan Robinson has met with many teams at the NFL Combine.
Running backs met with the media during Saturday’s portion of the NFL Combine. Many eyes were on Bijan Robinson as the No. 1 ranked player at his position.
Bijan is one of five Longhorns taking part in this year’s NFL Combine. He is joined by Roschon Johnson, DeMarvion Overshown, Moro Ojomo and Keondre Coburn.
Robinson has a great chance to break Texas’ long first-round draft pick drought. He has been recently mocked to teams such as the Eagles, Bills, Ravens and Cowboys. Some experts have gone as far as to compare Robinson to New York Giants all-pro running back Saquon Barkley.
As a Texas Longhorn, Robinson rushed for 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2022, earning the Doak Walker Award in the process. He ended his college career with 3,410 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons. Robinson is a valuable pass catcher out of the backfield as he added eight touchdowns through the air at Texas.
Here is a look at everything Robinson said to the media at the combine on Saturday.

College coaches all over the country are working hard to land the talented defensive back. Black has offers from the likes of Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Texas A&M and other premier programs.
Black is a top priority for Steve Sarkisian and Texas’ coaching staff this cycle. After landing four five-stars in the 2023 class, Texas hopes Black can be a catalyst for this cycle.
On3 Sports sat down with Black to discuss teams standing out in his recruitment. Black stated he liked the atmosphere Texas is building on campus following his January visit.
“Everybody there, I’d say they don’t sugarcoat anything. They always tell the truth. There are good vibes there. Everything’s cool there.”
Black has no rush to commit to a school anytime school. He is planning to be patient with the recruiting process and take his official visits in the spring.
