Bears running back David Montgomery has been ranked as the No. 98 player in the 2022 NFL Top 100.

He finished last season with 849 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns, and he has ran for at least 800 yards every year.

He has carved out a reputation for himself as a dependable workhorse with very good contact balance, ball-carrier vision, agility in a vacuum and a high motor.
