Ty Montgomery - Green Bay Packers

1) Ty Montgomery was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft (94th overall).

2) Ty was drafted out of Stanford University to play wide receiver for the Packers but during the 2016 season he made the transition to running back. 

3) Montgomery was a four sport standout in high school competing in football, track, lacrosse, and baseball.

D: I really really like the Packers! How strong do I need to be to catch a ball from Aaron Rodgers?

Ty Montgomery: You need to be strong enough to not let the ball knock you down. No I'm just kidding. You just need to have good hands and catch the ball, that's it...and eat all of your vegetables.

D's Follow Up: I'm good at eating my vegetables. Carrots, broccoli, and corn are my favorites. I don't think I can catch a ball from Aaron Rodgers yet because I need to get stronger.

J: When Aaron Rodgers throws you the ball what do you like to do more: run with the ball or catch it?

Ty Montgomery: Running with it. I definitely like running with it more, yeah. It's a lot more fun to break tackles and run for touchdowns.

J's Follow Up: I like to catch the football as a receiver more than run with it like a running back. I like to catch it first and then make moves. 

Once again, Danny has us featuring a Green Bay Packers player on Vincents Go 3 on 3. His love for the green and gold runs deep and we are having fun watching him meet his heroes. Ty Montgomery was very inviting and he was excited to talk with Jordan and Danny at the Fanatics Show in Rosemont.

Danny might not be ready to catch a game pass from Rodgers yet but he certainly is practicing hard every day and improving his football skills. He started playing flag football and loves to throw "Rodgers cannons" and catch passes like Nelson, Cobb, and Adams. I hope he keeps eating his vegetables, practicing hard and maybe someday he'll get a chance to try and catch one of Aaron's throws!

Ty recently made the transition from wide receiver to running back and he says he prefers to break tackles and run it into the end zone for TDs. It looks like he might have a permanent spot in the backfield and he certainly performed well, especially against my Chicago Bears. Jordan is excited about playing receiver and he's also a natural at running the ball. He has his first flag football game of the season this week and I can't wait to watch him play! Run, catch, or throw, as long as he is having fun I couldn't ask for more.
