Excerpt:
David Montgomery
5-foot-11, 216 pounds, jr., running back
Background: Montgomery has been one of Iowa State’s most consistent players on offense the past three seasons, piling up 2,474 yards and 19 rushing touchdowns in 33 games. He’s averaged 4.6 yards per carry in his career and has shown toughness, too, leading the nation in forced missed tackles with 109 last season.
What McSay says: “Obviously he’s been productive the last couple of years. I think he’s shifty. He’s got enough foot speed to hit the cutback lane. You see acceleration in his game. I think he’s got good instincts. Occasionally, he’s a little bit impatient. But overall, his agility, his competitions as a runner (is good). He’s not the neatest back but he averages solid 5’s.
"He runs with good balance. Protects the football. Overall, I think he’s just a really solid player. I think he probably projects somewhere in Day 2 range. Worse case, probably like the third or fourth round. More than likely, I feel like the third round is about where he projects.”
