“That boy keeps me going”: How David Montgomery’s time at Iowa State portends greatness with the Bears

David Montgomery wasn’t always a star running back. He wasn’t always someone his team, family, and friends could impeccably rely on. In fact, given a difficult upbringing in Cincinnati, and after being sparsely recruited out of high school, it wouldn’t have been a stretch to wonder if Montgomery was going to sit in the position he sits in today. A place where he’s the feature back for a Super Bowl contender like the Bears. A role he’s meticulously prepared for over the past few years. A situation that was always going to fit him like a glove.
