From the article

David Montgomery is currently the RB22, and that is crazy for a player who was signed by the Houston Texans to handle all three downs and lead a team that should be competing for the playoffs. Obviously, the ranking is due to his age (29). If it were based on his situation and talent, including elite pass blocking and the ability to catch out of the backfield, which was lost in Detroit due to Jahmyr Gibbs' elite ability, Montgomery would be recognized as the top back he can be.

Montgomery at RB22 is undervalued for his three-down role and playoff-contending offense.

Montgomery is currently RB22, which is crazy for a player signed by Houston to handle all three downs and lead a team that should be competing for the playoffs. The ranking is due to his age (29), but if based on situation and talent—including elite pass blocking and the ability to catch out of the backfield (which was lost in Detroit due to Jahmyr Gibbs' elite ability)—Montgomery would be recognized as the top back he can be. At ECR 48 (late 4th round, early 5th), Montgomery is a player that could lead owners to championships who take top-tier wide receivers early and use him as the foundation of their backfield.
