Montgomery projects best in a 3-4 defense that relies on strong, versatile defensive ends who can set the edge against the run and still offer pass-rushing upside.
He can contribute early as a rotational 3-4 defensive end, with the potential to develop into a full-time starter who excels against both the run and pass.
His ability would be marginalized in a wide-9 attacking front that prioritizes pure speed rushers off the edge.
Montgomery's blend of size and athleticism makes him a solid scheme fit for the Texans' 3-4 defense, offering production against the run and a developing pass-rush.
Selected #95 overall in Round 3 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of LSU.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
