After splitting the workload with Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit for the last three seasons, David Montgomery is now set to become a true RB1 for the #Texans 

Montgomery, who rushed for 716 yards on 158 carries (4.5 YPC) and 8 TD last season, sought a trade out of Detroit for an opportunity to be the workhorse RB he believes he can be. 

The 29-year-old Montgomery has only been in Houston for four months, but he’s already caught the attention of his offensive coordinator, Nick Caley. 

“His body of work will speak for itself. Runs behind his pads, stays grounded, arm tackles aren’t getting it done. He’s gonna try to run through you every single chance. He can set guys up. He understands how to set blocks & be able to help deliver defenders to the blockers. His pass game production, he’s got a really good feel. He’s refined, takes a lot of pride in his route running, he brings a lot,” Caley said. 

While the Texans will rely on second-year RB Woody Marks to contribute in the rotation, Montgomery will lead the backfield. 

Montgomery set a career-high in rushing yards in 2020 at 1,070 in his second season with the Bears. Will he surpass that mark this year?
