During his time in Chicago, new Detroit Lions’ running back David Montgomery had no shortage of highlight-worthy plays. From making a defender miss in the alley to shrugging off multiple tacklers on his way to a big gain, Montgomery has the ability to turn a good play into a great play.

Simply put, Montgomery is a playmaker with the rock in his hands—and the clips below give you a sense of how electric he can be as a ball carrier.
