SIXTH-ROUND PICK (217TH OVERALL)

RB KHALIL HERBERT

Age: 23

College: Virginia Tech

Ht./Wt.: 5-9, 210

Background:

Herbert never quite broke through at Kansas. But after transferring to Virginia Tech as a grad student, he piled up 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Also, he was born with six fingers on each hand (one on each hand was removed) and has a sixth toe on his left foot.

The skinny: The Bears are set at running back with David Montgomery starting and Damien Williams behind him. Herbert will have to fight off Artavis Pierce, who made the roster as an undrafted free agent last year, to claim a spot on the team.

He said: ‘‘[I’m a] home-run hitter. ... I’m able to do everything out of the backfield.”
