Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
I would describe Montgomery as a “peek-a-boo” runner because you see him one second and cannot find him the next. Partially to his size, but mostly to his athleticism and skills, Montgomery looks to get to the outside and then cutback to the inside in the smallest of seams he thinks he can eek through. Most impressively he does this without losing much speed at all. He runs with low pad level, which enables defenders to bounce back on him as they attempt a tackle. Should they tackle him, he runs with forward lean and always seems to fall forward for that extra yard. Lastly, Montgomery sets up his blockers well. Given that he often beats them to the spot because of how fast he is, he is forced to slow down, hides behind his offensive lineman, then pops out the opposite gap you would expect him to before hitting full speed again en route to big gainers. Montgomery’s film will be more complete if he displayed more of his skills as a pass catcher out of the backfield and picking up blitzers.
