According to his
NFL.com scouting report, the 6-2, 222-pound Forte might lack explosive speed, but his lower body strength, balance and body control allow him to shift his weight, sink his pads and drive through arm tackles. He is an efficient receiver out of the backfield and adds to his resume as a gunner on special teams. He seems to get stronger as the game wears on and has made steady progress recovering from late 2006 knee problems. It remains to be seen, however, if Forte is capable of pushing a healthy Cedric Benson for touches.
