Well, it looks like we are finally starting to concentrate on our sad offense. This guy did pretty in high school and college, although he did have a knee injury during college and missed a year. He was hyped to be in the running for the Heisman in 2007, but it did not happen (alot of competition there!) Here are some awards he received:
Conference USA All-Freshman (2004)
2x All-Conference USA (2005, 2007)
Third-team AP All-American (2007)
Doak Walker Award semifinalist (2007)
Maxwell Award semifinalist (2007)
Senior Bowl MVP (2008)
I believe this is a step in the right direction for us! So welcome to Matt Forte! Make us believers.
