David Montgomery put in work this offseason to lead Bears’ rushing attack in 2020

Bears running back David Montgomery is only entering his second season in the NFL, but he's already facing pressure to perform like the centerpiece of Chicago's running game in 2020. After a rookie season that totaled just 889 rushing yards and six touchdowns, questions remain whether he has the ability to be 'that guy.'

Montgomery's up-and-down rookie season was like any first-year player's. He had to acclimate to a new offense, new teammates, and the speed of the NFL game. At times, he looked the part of a top-tier running back like when he ran the ball 27 times for 135 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers in Week 7.
