The Bears opened up space alongside Tarik Cohen in their backfield by trading Jordan Howard this offseason and third-round pick David Montgomery joins free agent acquisition Mike Davis as the likeliest candidates to fill it.Early signs about the rookie’s chances of doing that have been positive. Montgomery’s skills in the passing game got a thumbs up from head coach Matt Nagy and running backs coach Charles London said his ability as a runner was also evident right off the bat.London said Montgomery has “pretty rare contact balance Gale Sayers Jersey ,” which gives him the chance to gain yards even when there’s a lot of traffic ahead of him on the field.“He definitely possesses that,” London said https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Singletary-Jersey , via Adam Jahns of TheAthletic.com. “It’s important from the running back position because every play is not going to be clean and every hole is not going to be clean. Sometimes you just got to create that on your own. He did quite a bit of that at Iowa State. That was something that we noticed. And that is something you really can’t coach. You either kind of got it or you don’t and he does. It’s something we quickly noticed about him.”London said Montgomery was focused on learning the offense and his role this spring, but that he can see the running back taking on a leadership role as time goes on. If the offseason praise turns into regular season results Dick Butkus Color Rush Jersey , that may happen sooner rather than later. During a visit with last week, Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky joked that he has been “working on my leg just in case” the team needs him to make a bid for the kicking job this offseason.For now William Perry Jersey , the team is sticking with the eight players who have been taking part in this weekend’s rookie minicamp. Kicking drills aren’t usually the focal point of a team’s practice, but Trubisky said that the nature of the Bears’ competition and the memory of the way last season ended means that it is front and center this year.“The whole thing behind them has become a fascinating spectacle right now https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Ditka-Jersey ,” Trubisky said, via Patrick Finley of the . “That’s even what I’m interested in now. We’re gonna be out at practice Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey , and I’ll be keeping track of who’s making and who’s missing and who’s winning the competition.”The aspiring Bears kickers went 2-of-8 on 43-yard field goals at the end of Friday’s practice. They were better on Saturday as 6-of-8 put it through the uprights from the spot where Cody Parkey missed at the end of January’s playoff loss to the Eagles.
