The New Orleans Saints plan to use Ty Montgomery in a “Swiss Army” knife role which could keep Tre’Quan Smith on the sidelines.

As the offseason started to cool down, the Saints made an extremely underrated addition in former Jets running back Ty Montgomery. Montgomery, who is a shifty, quick back, adds strength to this team due to his versatility.

Being known to have success with players that can successfully be in multiple positions, the Saints plan to put the running back into more of a Taysom Hill-like role in 2020 which could hurt former third-round pick Tre’Quan Smith’s snaps.
