HC talks up starting RB

Packers HC Mike McCarthy to NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero regarding Ty Montgomery:

“He’s the full threat. He can obviously run it, he can catch it, he can displace and run routes and catch it. He just needs the reps in pass protection, because he’s actually really high in ability for pass protection. That guy is a stud now. He’s got in his body. He’s a very good young player.” (NFL.com – Tom Pelissero)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Pelissero goes on to say Jamaal Wiliams is the most impressive of the three rooking running backs so far, but obviously McCarthy’s praise means more at the moment. Coaches hand out compliments for all kinds of reasons during training camp, but it is interesting McCarthy acknowledges Montgomery still has work to do in the one area that got him benched a couple times last season. If Montgomery shores up that part of his game, he could be a high-end RB2 in fantasy.
