SHARE Matt Forte bulks up for the 2015 season

Bears running back Matt Forte led the team with 1,038 rushing yards and 102 catches last season, and that type of production can take a toll on a player.

This season, Forte is bulking up to handle the workload, and he shared a picture on Instagram of himself working out.

You can tell Forte’s upper body has gotten bigger, and 29-year-old running back will enter his eighth season ready to carry the offense.
