Everybody saw David Montgomery break out on the ground last season, but one of the more underrated aspects of his ascension was his ability to impact the passing game. With Tarik Cohen in the mix, it was hard to get Montgomery going as a pass catcher, but without him, Montgomery became an all-around back for the Chicago Bears.
He was averaging 4.1 catches for 31.2 yards per game in 2020 without Cohen which does not sound like a lot but was over double his production when Cohen was healthy. The threat of him as a pass-catcher opens more space and forces corners to sit on the flats when he flares out.
