Windy City Gridiron: David Montgomery is ‘a true three-down back’

It’s official, Jamaal Williams is headed for New Orleans after two really fun years with the Detroit Lions. In his place is a very intriguing new Lion in former Bears running back David Montgomery. The hardest part about all of this is that Williams was such a fun guy and so easy to love, but Montgomery might be the better player.

Montgomery is just 25 years old and was just ranked the 98th best player in the NFL after the 2021 season. He has run all over the Lions in the past and now he’s about to play behind the best offensive line he’s ever played with.
