Bears RB David Montgomery ready to let it loose

BOURBONNAIS — The introductory phase of training camp — two non-padded practices — has been unfulfilling for rookie David Montgomery.

“He’s at a point right now where he won’t even talk to me, he’s so mad that we can’t put the pads on,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said.

Really, David Montgomery?

“Naw, I’m just a really quiet person. I don’t really talk much,” Montgomery said with a smile. “My momma always told me, ‘You’ve got two ears and one mouth for a reason.’ So I [follow that advice].”

Still, Montgomery can’t deny he’s particularly eager to move into the padded-practice phase of training camp Sunday at Olivet Nazarene University.
