From the episode

David Montgomery who should set up as their feature back...He's going to be their goal line back. So I really love him in that situation.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Montgomery is Houston's clear RB1 in a run-heavy, clock-control scheme.

David Montgomery is set up as the Texans' feature back in 2026; the source has heard only good praise about him and believes getting the run game going will make things easier for CJ Stroud. Montgomery will be the team's RB1 in a defensive-oriented scheme that wants to slow down games and bleed the clock, meaning more goal-line and clock-management opportunities for him.
