Matt Forte had his best season as a professional in 2103. Forte finished second in the NFL with 1,339 yards, a 4.6 yards per carry average, 594 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
Forte put up all pro numbers, but his peers obviously didn’t feel the same way about his accomplishments. when the NFL Network’s “Top 100 Players of 2014” series started, Forte was chosen near the bottom of the list at No. 91. Forte of course “felt extremely disrespected.”
“It’s obvious that you guys had Packers fans make the list,” Forte cracked during an interview on the NFL Network. “And that’s why I’m so high on the list at No. 91. I mean, this would have been cool if I was the first running back taken off the board in the draft six years ago. But this is terrible. This is awful.”
