Peterson, 26, was the team's second-leading rusher last season, gaining 391 yards on 76 carries. He scored two touchdowns and added seven catches for 48 yards, making it his career-best offensive season.
Peterson played in all 16 games, plus the postseason, and ranked third on the team with 18 special teams tackles.
Chicago selected the Georgia Southern product in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL draft.

I didn't know that Peterson doubled up on special teams last year...interesting use of the running back....tough kid to go do special teams and get 18 tackles while at it.

Wow! Talk about a team with a bunch of RBs!!! It looks like the Benson pick was a waste cuz the Bears have runners coming from the rafters! If they get Brian Griese then we might have a Panther/Bear NFC title game.

I think Benson is the future though...He is a poor man's version of Ricky Williams...but they signed Peterson for 3 years so, who knows...
