One of the more underrated moves of the New Orleans Saints offseason might be the signing of free agent running back Ty Montgomery, if his new position coach’s thoughts are any indication. Joel Thomas works with the running backs in New Orleans, and he spoke at length on what Montgomery — who experienced some starts and stops with the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens, after rising to prominence for the Green Bay Packers — brings to the table.
Intriguingly, Thomas has something of a history with Montgomery; he saw firsthand what the converted wide receiver can do when Montgomery starred for the Stanford Cardinal against Thomas’s Washington Huskies back in the day.
