Young athletes will have the chance to learn from none other than Chicago Bears star running back Matt Forte next month. He's hosting the third annual Matt Forte Football ProCamp in Addison, Ill., on June 13-14, the Bears website announced.

Campers from Grades 1-8 will learn "fundamental football skills" at Forte's event. And no one leaves empty-handed. In addition to interacting with one of the finest running backs in Bears history, every participant will receive an autograph and a team photo with Forte, the release stated.

Learning from Forte is a unique and valuable opportunity for young football players in the Chicago area. The running back trails only Walter Payton in several major offensive categories for the Bears, including all-time rushing yards (7.704) and yards from scrimmage (11,431). Last season, Forte set the NFL record for most receptions by a running back (102).
