Can We Find The Next David Montgomery Among The 2022 Rookie Class?

We know that opportunity is crucial for running backs, especially those entering Year 2. In David Montgomery’s rookie season, he totaled the 12th-most opportunities at 277. Montgomery posted two RB1 performances (12%), with three RB2 games (19%). However, he had a low floor of 7.2 PPR/G or an RB3 or worst in 69% of those contests. He averaged -1.5 FPOE/G (No. 128), partly due to the team context and inefficiency. Yet, Montgomery’s 12.4 EP/G (No. 23) provided optimism in the high-value touch department and projected usage. Can we find another rookie who follows a Montgomery-type path?

It turns out that a 2022 rookie running back followed a similar path with volume and inefficiency on one of the worst offenses.
