Over his ten year NFL career, Matt Forte was one of, if not the most complete running back in the entire league. When the Chicago Bears decided to not resign him, he went to the New York Jets to finish off one of the most underrated careers in NFL history.

During his eight years in Chicago, no player had more total yards from scrimmage (12,718). Only three more players had more rushing yards (8,602) and no running back had more receptions (487).

Forte finished his playing days with the Jets, adding another 1,750 total yards from scrimmage before he signed a one-day contract in April 2018 to retire as a Bear.

Well, according to nflpolled and nextgennfl, Forte is inside the top 10 of the most underappreciated player of all time.

I could not agree more! I know that most Bears fans clearly knew he was amazing on the field, but he never seemed to receive the full media appreciation he truly deserved.
