Ty Montgomery Alvin Kamara Light?
I don't feel he is Diet AK, but he IS a good running back with more legit WR skill/experience. AK can just do things that most players can't...but I see the knee jerk comparison of a skilled, pass catching RB.
I think the Saints are feeling pretty good about the WR room, more than we all seem to be. I would like a "non sexy" vet with some speed and add legit speed in draft if the right WR falls to us to develop, though.
Montgomery having WR ability and knowing the system falls into depth and the "trust factor" with CSP. He was clocked at 4.55 40, who by all accounts points he is faster than that. He is 6 ft. MT clocked a 4.57 40 time. He wasn't even in the RB room at the time of the COVID layoff of our RB room, which is why he started. I like him in the RB rotation and I think they are looking at him as more of WR who can play snaps at RB. He has some fresh legs, too, with limited snaps the last seasons.
What a great option to have him in the wings if needed as WR or RB and/or utilizing him in certain snaps. With injuries always coming up at the worst times for us, I am glad he is on the roster.
