The Detroit Lions have been re-signing several of their key free agents and made a couple of splash signings at cornerback, but on Tuesday night, they went to the offensive side of the ball to deliver their latest cannonball—signing running back David Montgomery to a three-year contract.
Much like Jamaal Williams—the player Montgomery is expected to replace—Montgomery is a power back who thrives between the tackles. He is capable of playing all three downs, showing terrific hands as a receiver and solid efficiency as a pass protector. Montgomery is most known for his ability to break tackles and is one of the best at it in the league right now.
