David Montgomery u2012 the Detroit Lions running back and Eagle Scout u2012 is promoting Scouting America again, this time in a short video in which he appeals to parents, telling them their kids can participate in sports and scouts.
"Football is tough, but scouting is tough, too," he said, wearing a grey sweatshirt with the scouting logo on it. "What’s really tough is having to choose between the two. But the good news is, you don’t have to choose."
"I did both," he said. "Your kids, they can do both, too."
In just a few sentences, Montgomery offered a rebuttal to those who worry there's not enough time to be a young athlete and scout.
