It's easy to speculate about David Montgomery's future with the Lions, and Brad Holmes did not avoid addressing the topic.
Going into the season, the balance of touches in the Detroit Lions' backfield seemed likely to shift toward Jahmyr Gibbs, and away from David Montgomery. The question would be how much things would shift toward the younger back.
The Lions' rushing offense dropped off in every way this season compared to the last couple. Jahmyr Gibbs had another terrific season, with over 1,800 yards from scrimmage, a career-high 77 receptions and 18 total touchdowns.
