"The 100 Yards" Staff Report

Newly acquired New York Jets running back Matt Forte held a media conference call on Monday.

Forte said that he had interest from other teams but the Jets had the strongest interest, and that he felt that it would be a good fit.

"Me and Brandon [Marshall], we hold each other accountable. Even when we're not on the same team, because we're friends off the field," Forte said in the conference call.

Forte also said, "They see me as an every-down back, that's what we talked about. We left it at that."
