Ty Montgomery | Wide Receiver | Stanford | 6'0" - 216 lbs.
 


STRENGTHS: Top athlete when healthy. Well-built with long arms, broad shoulders and a thick lower half. Appears well-suited to making the jump to the NFL. Quickly accelerates to leave defenders in his wake and is very aggressive, bursting upfield and fighting through arm tackles to generate positive yardage rather than dancing to avoid contact. He shows good hand-eye coordination to pluck the ball out of the air. Flashes toughness to take the big hit. Comes from a pro-style offense and program with exceptional academic standards, should be able to handle an NFL playbook.

WEAKNESSES: Like a lot of players with a rocked-up build, doesn't possess ideal lateral agility and flexibility, making him a bit straight-linish. Average explosion out of his breaks, perhaps one of the reasons why most of his damage came on vertical or quick screens. Allows too many passes to get to his pads, resulting in some ugly drops in which the ball simply goes right through his fingers. Accelerates fluidly and impressively for a man of his build but there is some question as to his pure speed. Could be seen as a bit of a one-trick pony whose greatest value in the NFL could be as a fourth receiver and kick returner.

--Rob Rang

PLAYER OVERVIEW
After a breakout junior season in which the Dallas native racked up 2,208 all-purpose yards (third-most in school history) in helping the Cardinal finish 11-3 and a Rose Bowl berth, Montgomery (and Stanford) appeared to be destined for greatness in 2014. Montgomery took a step back due to injuries and inconsistency, leaving scouts wondering if his spectacular junior season was a fluke.
In 2013, Montgomery earned consensus All-American honors as a kick returner, averaging 30.3 yards per opportunity with touchdowns. He also led Stanford with 61 catches for 958 yards and 10 TDs, many of the dramatic variety. In 2014, he struggled with a shoulder injury and drops. He matched last year's total for receptions but all three of his touchdowns came over the first four games and he finished with only 603 receiving yards.

Flashed early on at Stanford, emerging as a starter in the final four games of his freshman season in 2012, catching seven passes for 120 yards in the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma State. Torn knee ligaments derailed most of his sophomore season and he finished with 26 catches for 213 yards.

Montgomery has an imposing build and his dual-threat ability as a receiver and returner could still earn him top 64 consideration. Concerns about his durability, agility and hands could impact his final grade.

Shocked we picked a WR not named Lockett late. Would have expected a TE for effect if we were hitting a Offense boost.

Hope he proves me wrong, but I have to admit this has been a head-scratching night.

He seems to have been used as a receiver and a running back in Stanford's offense.

Definitely good KR/PR numbers, but I wonder if they use him out of the backfield in a Cobb like way.

Definitely did not expect a WR drafted since we had Adams, Abbrederis, and Janis on roster.

He looks like a beast to me. I like our record with pass catchers.

This is REALLY interesting.

I have total confidence in Ted. Most here do not. Heretofore, I am sending him an e-mail to "Thank Him" personally for making Kevin's Packer Forum such a great read over the next three months.

Let the Ted Bashing begin.

My friend "Hazer" is up first I hope...

Draft Watch
Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford
Outlook: Montgomery’s a big, fast, and versatile receiver. He displays outstanding run after the catch ability and is especially dangerous in the open field. He can also contribute as a return man. Because of his size (6-2 & 215 pounds) and speed combo, he‘s not your ordinary slot receiver. Most slot receivers are small and quick, but Montgomery’s size makes him a unique prospect. In a sense, he’s a larger version of Green Bay wide receiver Randall Cobb. Based on his ability and production, he’s a candidate to forgo his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.

6. Ty Montgomery, Stanford
A versatile receiver with a terrific burst and acceleration, Montgomery’s tape tells two different stories. His 2013 season was outstanding, where he emerged as one of the Pac-12’s biggest playmakers, while his 2014 tape disappointed likely due to an injured hamstring. His hands are inconsistent; he’s not going to catch everything thrown his way. He shows a lack of concentration in catching the ball in traffic. However, his burst is terrific. When you think he’s covered, he turns on his jets to separate himself from defenders. He’ll likely play the slot, where teams can use his elusiveness to create mismatches. He has terrific run after catch ability. In many ways, he moves more like a running back than receiver. Like a running back, he shows terrific patience in waiting for his blockers to get out in front. His struggles against press coverage could hurt him in the NFL. When he played Michigan State’s vaunted secondary in the 2014 Rose Bowl, he struggled mightily with their physicality.

I had him No. 26 in my top 100. I value his 2013 tape. He was hurt last year.

This guy has 5 special teams TDs in college. It'll be nice to have a dangerous kick returner without putting Cobb at risk.
