Now, the Packers head coach wouldn’t mind seeing them together – how Lacy’s power running style might blend with Montgomery’s quickness.
The 2016 season was a tale of two halves for the Packers’ backfield. Lacy was off to the best start of his four NFL seasons before an ankle injury landed him on injured reserve in October.
Montgomery, a third-round pick in 2015, started the year as a receiver before making a midseason shift to running back en route to leading the Packers in rushing yards.
Whether a Lacy-Montgomery pairing is possible will be determined in the weeks to come.
