David Montgomery's Move to Lions Marks Next Phase in NFL Free Agency Rebuild.

Former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery has been praised as a "true three-down back" with good hands, pass protection skills, and contact balance. While he lacks elite speed and tends to dance too much, he has the potential to put up RB1 numbers with the right touches. Montgomery was a better fit for an inside zone or power gap scheme, which is why the Bears did not keep him. He is expected to play a significant role as the Lions' top running back this season.
