Forte puts Benson on the bubble
Published 4/27/2008 by BY MIKE MULLIGAN mmulligan@suntimes.com at Chicago Sun-Times Bears
Mike Mulligan: Cedric Benson famously wept on draft day back in 2005 when the Bears selected him with the No. 4 overall pick. Now he really has a reason to cry. If Benson wasn't already a bona fide bust before Saturday, the Bears declared him thus by using their second-round pick, No. 44 overall, to select his replacement, Tulane running back Matt Forte.
