Saints have Ty Montgomery listed as a RB...

As he was listed most recently. It is for payment reasons. They agreed to a RB contract level as opposed to a WR level which is higher. Makes sense.

Might also have something to do with Montgomery having poor hands, and that's why he's playing RB...

He does offer something in the return game, though...

ProFootball Reference: Ty Montgomery Career Stats

Montgomery really only had one bad receiving year and that was when he played for Baltimore. His catch % was 62.5 that season. The team rate was only 60%.

In his first season before he played RB he had a 78.9% rate. That's very good. I think it would be hard to say he has "poor hands."

According to ProFootball Reference, since joining the league, he's not even in the top 200 on catch rate for RBs...

That was the point I was making about his position designation; and one of the pluses of his addition to the roster is that he'd been a solid return guy except for one gaffe Packers fans couldn't forget...

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

I was under the impression he switched to RB because Eddie Lacey and James Starks got injured and they were desperate. Randall Cobb was even lining up in the backfield at times.

Yes, that's what I remember too. GB was out of RBs and Montgomery was pressed into service.

That's why I pointed out his catch rate before being moved to RB. 78% is crazy good for a WR.

I'm not saying he's the best receiving back in the league but to say he has "poor hands" is quite a stretch.

Yes. That was the impetus for the move. I remember all the talk about that on NFL Radio when it came about.

That 48.5 from Peat though ...

Gotta do better than that in 2020.
