Ty Montgomery Declared Starter for 2017 After Packers Draft 3 RBs

"Absolutely, [Montgomery] is our starting running back," Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal. "The goal is to have the most competitive 90-man roster as you possibly can, and you want that competition as high as it possibly can be in each position room. We obviously had some positions where numbers were not very high, and now after these three days, I think we have a competitive roster—a very competitive roster."

On Saturday, the Packers drafted Jamaal Williams from BYU (fourth round), Aaron Jones from Texas-El Paso (fifth round) and Devante Mays of Utah State (seventh round).
