Matt Forte not happy being ranked 91 on Top 100 NFL players list
By Mike Dyce
It is that time of year again when the NFL Network lists their Top 100 Players of 2014 again, and last night Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte came in ranked No. 91. He was not happy about his spot on the list.
#91 out of 100 pfffff

On Sunday, Forte went on the NFL Network to argue his spot some more.
“It’s obvious that you guys had Packers fans make the list and that’s why I’m so (low) on the list at No. 91,” Forte said, via NFL.com. “I mean, this would’ve been cool if I was the first running back taken off of the board in the draft six years ago, but this is terrible.”
It was also pointed out that he was ranked the ninth best running back. Forte felt like younger running backs shouldn’t be ahead of him because he has done it so consistently.
