Bears’ offensive lineman David had the second-most yardage on the court of any NFL rookie last season, but also averaged the second-lowest number of yards consistent with hauling a fullback with more than two hundred attempts.
Montgomery said in June that it would be better this time and that component of his plan to increase production focuses on nutrition. Montgomery has lost weight since the end of his rookie season by suppressing junk food and focusing on the lean proteins he expects to move faster in the box this time.
“I was much slower than I thought and it affected the game,” he said, through the team’s website. “I let myself stand in the way of what I ate last year. In fact, I didn’t care. He was a rookie. I was having dinner anything, but now it’s definitely a focal point of my daily life. It’s just to make sure I put the right things in my frame so that it can be transferred to the field.”
The Bears still have Tarik Cohen and also give Codarrelle Patterson a glimpse of the ball carrier, but a clever start to deserve to keep him at the forefront of the team’s box plans.
