David Montgomery Compared to NFL Greats

Morgan State University football coach Benton Harold, a former player turned mentor, has dedicated his life to shaping young athletes at the university. Originally from Augusta, Georgia, Harold's journey to Morgan State was inspired by his uncle, a former Baltimore Colts player, who encouraged him to explore his options. Meanwhile, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has drawn comparisons to Hall of Famers Walter Payton and Earl Campbell due to his physical running style and ability to break tackles, impressing both his coach and teammates. Montgomery is currently having a standout season, leading the Lions with ten rushing touchdowns and contributing significantly to a potent rushing attack alongside Jahmyr Gibbs. Lions head coach Dan Campbell praises Montgomery's rare qualities that inspire his offensive line, likening him to some of the greatest backs in NFL history. As the NFL season progresses, both Harold and Montgomery exemplify dedication and excellence in their respective roles.
