Could Bears rookie RB David Montgomery be the next Matt Forte?

Rookie David Montgomery has a lot to accomplish during the team’s summer break.

Finding an apartment isn’t one of them.

“I might stay in the [team-issued] hotel all year,” he said Wednesday.

It’s less stressful, he said, and the room gets cleaned once a day. Growing up in poverty, he said, he didn’t always have a bed to sleep on. And this one is good.

“It’s a comfortable bed,” he said Wednesday.

Living a simple life will give the running back time to study the playbook. Montgomery goes over the Bears’ plays for two or three hours a night before bed.
