Third-round pick Montgomery seen as bigger version of Cobb
Ty Montgomery averaged 27.4 yards with three touchdowns in four years of returning kickoffs at Stanford.Green Bay — The Green Bay Packers went with a proven top-notch returner in the third round when they drafted Ty Montgomery out of Stanford on Friday night, but they're banking on him being a bigger version of Randall Cobb who can line up anywhere on the field.
Montgomery returned kickoffs all four seasons at Stanford, averaging 27.4 yards with three touchdowns.
He didn't return punts until 2014 but excelled there, too, with a 19.8 average (12 returns) and two TDs.
"He's a very strong runner, very instinctive, has good quickness," said Packers general manager Ted Thompson.
