Green Bay Packers: 3 Takeaways From Camp Today
Rookie WR Ty Montgomery impressing coaching staff
Sam Shields compared Ty Montgomery to Percy Harvin: Strong and fast. "Guys are scared to tackle him because he’s so big and fast."

Ty Montgomery is on his way to being classified as a steal for the Green Bay Packers being a third round selection in 2015. He is not only gaining the respect of the coaching staff and on site media members but from his teammates as well. He is currently taking reps with the second string offense but you may see him get more and more first team reps.

I see Montgomery as being a key special teams player for us this season. Although he has an outrageous amount of talent on offense, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Davante Adams will be the first three starters. Montgomery will be more of an all-purpose player as he was in college and the Packers will figure out the ideal way to utilize his talents in 2015. He also provides some great depth for a team that had so many question marks at the wide receiver position a year ago.
