Ty Montgomery has practiced at RB for over a month now and he has a background of being a RB. Stop being bitches about a "WR" playing RB.

Ty Montgomery's background as a running back helps him adapt to his hybrid role with the Packers.

Ty Montgomery was in the stands at Texas Stadium on Oct. 27, 2002, when Emmitt Smith became the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Montgomery was 9 years old, a Dallas resident and an impressionable Cowboys fan, and he idolized Smith and the man whose record Smith broke.

“I was a big fan of Walter Payton,” Montgomery said. “I had a pair of KangaROOS that I found in a Ross (store), actually. I was a big fan of Earl Campbell. Barry Sanders. Marshall Faulk. Emmitt Smith. And Eddie George, as well.”

As a senior at St. Mark’s School of Texas, Montgomery rushed for 893 yards and averaged nearly 10 yards a carry, but his days as a running back were about to end. At Stanford, he was a receiver and kick returner, and the Green Bay Packers drafted him in the third round in 2015 with those roles in mind.

However, necessity being the mother of invention — and position changes — Montgomery found himself primarily in the backfield Thursday night and played a pivotal role in the Packers’ 26-10 victory over the Chicago Bears.


“It doesn’t matter,” he said. “I can do this for however long.”

Even for the rest of the season?

“Yeah, if I have to,” Montgomery said. “It’s a lot of fun back there. I love it. I just love being on the field with these guys, contributing however I can.”

The guy is built like a RB and plays the position well. Bitching about the number on his jersey or the fact that a depth chart says WR next to his name is pointless and stupid. If he plays RB he's a RB.

Montgomery is listed at 6'0" 216lb
Starks 6'2" 218lb
Jackson 5'10" 208lb
Crockett 6'0" 217lb

Lesean McCoy 5'11" 208lb
Demarco Murray 6'1" 220
Melvin Gordon 6'1" 220
Matt Forte 6'1" 218
Adrian Peterson 6'1" 220

A lot of good RB built similarly so I guess I'm not sure what a RB is built like as opposed to a "powerhouse WR" or "small TE"

I guess we should have been making Montgomery a running back all this time since he's such a good fit. 🙄

Why can't you guys just admit the Packers are desperate? Is that so difficult?

McCarthy is just stupidly stubborn sometimes and acts like his post training camp depth chart is permanent.

It's not like Montgomery as a RB came out of nowhere either. Even on this forum go look at the draft thread for him and there were several people suggesting he might be used as a RB.

Also I'd like to know how you know the muscle density in the legs and posterior of all these RBs.
