The Facts: The Bears attempted but failed to sign veteran running back C.J. Anderson in the offseason, and even if Chicago uses another draft pick on the position, Langford is still the clear-cut favorite to play the most snaps in the backfield.
Diehards Line:
This according to ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson, who reminded readers that with veteran Matt Forte off to New York, Langford has assumed the role of lead tailback after he tallied 816 yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns in his first NFL season. Langford became just the third player in Bears franchise history with 100 receiving yards, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown in a single game when he accomplished the rare feat last year in St. Louis.
