The Facts:
HC Lovie Smith praised a handful of players after the workout, beginning with Forte, who was as impressive as any of the 50 rookie participants during the team's initial workout. "Matt Forte stood out," Smith said. "I thought he caught the ball well. He showed some good quickness, he has good size. All the things we thought coming in, we got a chance to see."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The second-round pick from Tulane looked especially fluid and athletic catching the ball out of the backfield. As noted in this week's
2008 Rookie RBs Preview, former first-round pick Cedric Benson's failure to meet expectations places Forte among the incoming rookies with a legitimate shot at earning starting jobs.
