Chicago Bears running back D’Onta Foreman works on the field during practice last month.

D’Onta Foreman loves playing running back. But he wouldn’t recommend it to the next generation.

“My advice to guys now? Definitely try to play something else,” he told the Sun-Times on Wednesday. “You play kicker, you’re probably making more money than some of the running backs in this league.”

Foreman, who signed a one-year, $2 million deal to join the Bears this offseason, weighed in on what has become one of the league’s hottest topics: the perception that running backs are underpaid.
