David Montgomery is carrying himself like a man who demands respect. Something that others seem unwilling to give him despite his strong second season in 2020. The 24-year old views himself as one of the best running backs in the NFL. He has put that statement on camera multiple times. His talk with head coach Matt Nagy during minicamps illustrated this. Some don't even see him as a top 20 guy. That is fine. He'll just use that as fuel to show everybody how wrong they are.
It seems the media isn't alone in their ignorance of Montgomery either. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler polled several executives and coaches around the NFL with a simple question. Who are the 10 best running backs in the NFL right now? Not only did the Bears' starter fail to crack that list, but he also didn't even get the courtesy of an honorable mention.
Top 10:
- Derrick Henry
- Alvin Kamara
- Dalvin Cook
- Nick Chubb
- Christian McCaffrey
- Saquon Barkley
- Ezekiel Elliott
- Aaron Jones
- Joe Mixon
- Josh Jacobs
Honorable mentions:
- Jonathan Taylor
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire
- Kareem Hunt
- Miles Sanders
