David Montgomery of Mount Healthy and Iowa State could be a top NFL pick Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com
MOUNT HEALTHY - It's nearly 600 miles from Mount Healthy to Ames, Iowa, via Interstate 74. That's how far in distance David Montgomery had to go to be recognized as one of the Big 12's finest running backs at Iowa State.
He turned enough heads and broke enough tackles to become a top prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft.
In his life, Montgomery has gone much further, not in miles, but in effort and overcoming adversity to reach his ultimate goal.
