The Green Bay Packers had a lot of issues at running back last season. Eddie Lacy got injured and struggles with his weight. James Starks was alternately injured and ineffective. Eventually, they had to turn to Ty Montgomery, a converted wide receiver.

Montgomery will stay at running back moving forward, but he's on the smaller and slighter side, so the Packers needed a big-back complement to him.
