  • The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has reported that Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery has bulked up to 220 pounds. Montgomery was asked to trim weight when he was playing wide receiver.
  • In 2016 playing both running back and wide receiver Montgomery earned a 74.3 overall grade. As a running back exclusively this would have earned him the 18th highest grade out of 62 eligible.
