Ty Montgomery an unusual 'veteran' at RB for Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Ty Montgomery is in the unusual position of being the veteran at running back for the Green Bay Packers.

At this time a year ago, he was listed on the depth chart at receiver. Montgomery started working at running back at the start of last year's regular season and became the focal point of the backfield after veterans Eddie Lacy and James Starks went down with midseason injuries.

Now, the 24-year-old Montgomery - with 80 carries in two NFL seasons - is the unquestioned leader of the backfield.
