Writer is Dane Brugler, has David as the #4 ranked RB:
4. David Montgomery, Iowa State (5-10, 222, 4.58)
Cincinnati, Ohio (Mount Healthy), Junior, 6/7/1997 (age on draft day: 21.90)
Strengths: Elusive runner due to his balance, low-center and run toughness … good-sized athlete and rarely goes down at first contact … flashes strong leg drive and powers
through arm tackles when he wants to … patient at the line of scrimmage with strong cuts to keep defenders off balance in the hole … vision to find the cutback lane … easy to appreciate his toughness and fight … reliable ball skills with focus to stab away
from his body … steady base and awareness in pass protection to face up and keep rushers occupied … only three career fumbles on 695 touches … named a 2018
team captain, and his coaches call him a “culture changer” due to his work ethic, effort and character.
Weaknesses: Lacks instant acceleration to speed away from pursuit … wasn’t a big-play creator in college (2018: zero rushes of 40-plus yards and only two rushes of 30-plus yards) … too much east-west and guilty of making too many moves … late to read and anticipate developing lanes … bad habit of bracing for contact in the hole instead of lowering his pads … not a hammer and doesn’t always fall forward … always carries the ball in his left hand … awareness as a route-runner must improve.
Summary: A three-year starter at Iowa State, Montgomery was an every-down back in the Cyclones’ shotgun, zone-read offense, often flanked to the left/right of the quarterback. He benefited from inferior tackling in the Big 12........,
and Butler going in the 6th to the Cardinals. Link:
