A lot of people seem to be high on Ty Montgomery like they were about Randall Cobb as a rookie.

GREEN BAY — The three weeks of, ahem, voluntary OTA workouts the Green Bay Packers completed last Friday were used mostly for the installation of the offensive and defensive playbooks. The mandatory minicamp the Packers are holding this week is mostly for reviewing that material.
But what if a player — a rookie, no less — has nothing to review because he missed the OTAs?

I have a good feeling about Ty. The dude is built, and he must be pretty smart coming out of Stanford. Hopefully we got another WR steal.

Like Texas would probably say, I hope we don't garage him if he's special. Accelerate his learning curve don't be passive and just plan to use him next season. Let him loose...maybe, not immediately, but actually plan to incorporate him if he truly is picking it up quickly which it does sound like he is and will. With our injury luck, the sooner they're ready to use him the better because he could be needed in the early portion of the season.

I hope the plan isn't to "redshirt" him as a WR/RB/Utility offensive player and just use him on returns if he shows great skill there.

The comparison you read is to Cordarrelle Patterson. I watched some YouTube clips and didn't quite see that but if he's that elusive with his strength he could be pretty unique for us. Cordarrelle Patterson is also stone stupid and Ty is not. A smart Patterson who gets it sounds pretty encouraging. Another one of those mid 4.5 guys. Had he been faster he would've been taken a lot higher and he likely would've been a 1st round guy after his JR year. Hope we get the guy who has the arrow pointing up not the one who was going down.

He might be like Finley, though...he has suspect hands. Doesn't concentrate all that well. I saw multiple drops of his on YouTube and these were not catches with any degree of difficulty...he was dropping routine opportunities with regularity.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Montgomery's best chance to contribute this year is on special teams.

Ala Randall Cobb his rookie year.

The battle for 4th, 5th an. 6 th reciever is going to be intense!

That will definitely be a battle, no doubt. Does anyone have any videos on this Ty Montgomery rookie? Did we add any to his rookie thread?

He is not flashy, but he does get the job done.

KO returns is wide open!

Once we get in August that could very easily change though.

Yeah, the primary question on Montgomery is "as what?" There is that helluva lot of talent at WR; There is Hyde who was more than decent and Abbrederis who might be excellent as punt returners; Kick off returns don't mean as much anymore with the kicking spot moved up. Also, who was it, Randall or Rollins? that was supposed to be good at that.

I think Montgomery's best bet might be as a third down RB. We'll see. Having too many quality "skill players" is not a bad problem to have.
