Packers RB Ty Montgomery explained that he would rather play fewer years at running back if means he’ll have the kind of success he’d like to have in the NFL, even if his career could be longer by playing receiver.
“Do I want to play in the NFL for a longer period of time and not be as happy because I’m not having the amount of success that I’d like to have?” Montgomery said Tuesday, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “And if running back gives me that, then I’d rather play [6 to 8] years in the league … having a successful career and having a lot of fun doing it and not always battling to be somebody’s fourth, fifth or sixth receiver, even if it meant a [10 to 12-] year career.
