- Speaking to reporters on Monday, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is reportedly very high on RB Ty Montgomery, saying he is a ‘full threat’.
- Montgomery impressed, albeit on limited snaps, as a wide receiver in 2015. Among all wide receivers with at least 15 targets in 2015, Montgomery fielded the highest catch percentage (83.3 percent) and forced five missed tackles en route to an average of 6.3 yards after the catch, per receptions (T-14th among WRs with at least 15 targets).
- After switching to running back full time in 2016, the former Stanford Cardinal adjusted quickly to RB. Among any running back who had at least 70 total touches (carries and receptions) in 2016, Montgomery led them all with a 116.4 elusive rating. His yards after contact per attempt of 5.14 also led any running back with at least 20 carries.
- One thing he could improve on in 2017 would be making the most out of his receptions out of the backfield. He tallied 200 snaps in route last season, but only averaged 1.25 yards per route run, T-26th among 43 running backs with at least 101 snaps in route.
