The Bears already have a Pro Bowl running back in Jordan Howard, but GM Ryan Pace just provided the Bears the perfect compliment to Howard's downhill running style.

North Carolina A&T's Tarik Cohen, who measures in at just 5-foot-6 and weighs 175 pounds, was selected by the Bears at No. 119 in the fourth round. Cohen finished his career as one of the most decorated running backs in FCS history as he finished as the MEAC's all-time leading rusher with 5,619 yards.
