Addition of running back David Montgomery excites Lions: 'He's a baller'

Allen Park — A couple days into the team's first set of organized activates, Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker had yet to meet David Montgomery. Still, the new running back's reputation was preceding him.

"Obviously, I know of him from his time in Chicago," Decker said. "I mean, the guy is a playmaker. Durable, a lot of carries, strong. I've seen our guys try to tackle him, and it's gonna be fun to see that kind of 1-2 punch (with D'Andre Swift). I've seen it from the opposite perspective of what he can do and it's going to be fun for us as a line to be able to try and get that guy to the second level.
