If Maryland football running back Javon Leake misses a pass in practice, offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery often tells him, “Catch jugs after practice, you’ve got to do something different to make it to that next level.”
Montgomery would know. After all, he was a wide receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers for three years, helping Mike Tomlin coach the team to an AFC championship in 2011. Leake is trying to expand his game, and having a pro in his corner has been really helpful.
“He tries to give us everything he’s been through and his experience, tries to lean on us and guide us in the right way,” Leake said.
