Montgomery had over 1000 total yards last year despite missing 4 games due to injury. He had also a spectacular 2020 season cumulating over 1500 yards.
Players like Rhamondre Stevenson, Gus Edwards, and Rashaad Penny definitely should not be ahead of Montgomery. Yes, Montgomery will get touches taken away by Herbert but all these running backs are backups on their respective teams. Players like Damien Harris, J.K. Dobbins, and Chris Carson will most definitely out-snap them.
