The Houston Texans have bolstered their backfield with the addition of David Montgomery, giving C.J. Stroud a new weapon to work with.
Montgomery, previously with the Detroit Lions, found his opportunities limited by the emergence of Jahmyr Gibbs. Now, he's ready to make his mark in Houston.
Montgomery's reputation as a physical, hard-hitting runner precedes him. Known for wearing down defenses, especially in the latter stages of a game, he’s a force to be reckoned with. But don’t pigeonhole him just yet-Montgomery insists there's more to his game than brute strength.
"I'm often labeled as a power back, but I can do much more than that," Montgomery shared with the Houston Chronicle. "I'm more about showing than telling. I'll let my play do the talking."
In Houston, Montgomery is poised to step into a starting role, a chance he hasn't had since being overshadowed by Gibbs in Detroit. From 2020 to 2024, Montgomery was a consistent starter, and he's eager to return to that form with the Texans.
With a fresh opportunity, Montgomery is determined to prove he's not just a power back but a versatile threat on the field. Keep an eye on him as he aims to redefine his role and showcase the full range of his abilities.
