3 things to know about new Patriots multi-purpose back Ty Montgomery

With Brandon Bolden joining Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas, the Patriots are bringing in another veteran running back to spell James White and provide special teams value.

The Boston Globe’s Nicole Yang writes the team has signed seven-year running back/wide receiver hybrid Ty Montgomery to a two-year contract, as confirmed by league sources.

Though Montgomery has primarily played in a reserve role and has never put up big numbers in his career — he has 1,180 rushing yards on 258 carries and has 139 catches for 1,104 yards in his career — he offers the kind of versatility the Patriots like.
