Chicago Bears – Jordan Howard

Go look through the Bears roster and tell me who you’d pick for this. Talk about boring. The entire team is made up of players you’ve either never heard of or ones that you only heard of because they were the best of bad situations.

Mitch Trubisky has yet to prove anything, Allen Robinson was the only good player on a bad Jaguars team prior to last season, Jordan Howard, Akiem Hicks and Danny Tevathan are okay, but the rest of these guys are relatively unknown.

Here’s a list of the Bears tight ends: Dion Sims, Adam Shaheen, Daniel Brown, Trey Burton, Ben Braunecker, Colin Thompson. Are thee guys actually in the NFL or did someone pull these from the random name generator in Madden?

In the interest of not picking another quarterback, we’ll go with Howard for the comparison. The Bears running back had a breakout season in 2016, running for 1,313 yards on 5.1 yards per carry to go along with six touchdowns. He was the lone bright spot on an abismal Bears team in 2017, once again rushing for over 1,000 yards and upping his touchdown total to nine.

There’s nothing flashy about Howard and his Fortnite play would reflect this (can you believe it took us this long to get to the Fortnite part?). He’s the second best guy on your current squad. You don’t notice him as much as your best player until your best player is gone and he takes over.

The Bears are going to be at the bottom of NFC North again this season, which is embarrassing solely because the Detroit Lions are in the same division.

Edit: Tarik Cohen is actually really good at Fortnite. Whoops.
