Player Bio
Montgomery was a dual-threat quarterback in high school, even earning Division III Ohio Player of the Year recognition from the Associated Press after his senior season (2,707 yards, 41 TD rushing). Schools outside the Midwest did not come calling, however, so Iowa State nabbed the three-star recruit. He led the Cyclones in rushing as a true freshman, playing in all 12 games with starts in the final four weeks (109-563-5.2, two TDs rushing; 13-129-9.9 receiving). Montgomery had more of a workload in 2017, starting all 13 games and earning first-team All-Big 12 notice with 258 carries for 1,146 yards (4.4 average) and 11 scores. He also helped carry the passing offense with 36 receptions for 296 yards (8.2 average). Montgomery was a second-team all-conference pick by the coaches his junior season, accumulating 257 carries for 1,216 yards (4.7 average) and 13 touchdowns (also 22-157-7.1 receiving) in 12 games (11 starts).

Draft Projection Round 3
NFL Comparison Kareem Hunt
Overview
One of the safest runners in this draft with a desirable combination of size, vision, toughness and creativity. He runs with impressive calm and instincts in the midst of interior mayhem, weaving and battering his way through traffic. Smart teams will recognize his ability to create yardage for himself with his eyes, footwork, contact balance and power. Should alleviate concerns about his lack of explosiveness. Montgomery has a pro-ready game and Day 2 (Rounds 2-3) value as a good NFL starter.
Strengths
Compact frame is built for the rigors of his work
Instinctive runner with ability to stack moves
Patient runner with plus vision up to second level
Glides behind his bigs and sets up his blocks
Gears up and down to counter flowing linebackers
Rhythmic but forceful
Offers no easy outs for tacklers
Powerful lower body creates rare contact balance
Adequate agility to elude one tackler and then punish the next
Takes care of the football and rarely fumbles
Plays with shake at the top of his route
Natural hands with ability to pluck it outside his frame
Good blitz recognition in pass pro
Weaknesses
Heavy workload over the last two seasons
Has carried it 20-plus times in 13 of his last 19 games
Takes his fair share of heavy hits
Runs with some tightness in his hips
Unable to make steep cuts against the grain on backside
Below-average burst to open space
Low number of explosive carries during his career
Lacks pure speed to outrun NFL linebackers to the corner
Makes a tackler miss, but doesn't have juice to get away from the next one
