He was a wide receiver for some NFL teams in the early 2000s.

Montgomery replaces Duce Staley, who held both titles under head coach Dan Campbell in 2021-2022. Staley left to join the new coaching staff with the Carolina Panthers.

During his time with the Colts, Montgomery helped develop Jonathan Taylor into the NFL’s leading rusher in 2021.
