Bears running back David Montgomery had the second-most rushing yards of any rookie in the NFL last season, but he also averaged the second-fewest yards per carry of any back with more than 200 attempts.
Montgomery said in June that he will be better this time around and part of his plan to boost his production was centered on nutrition. Montgomery has slimmed down since the end of his rookie season by cutting out junk food and focusing on lean proteins that he hopes will get him moving faster on the field this time around.

Montgomery said he didn't really care what he ate last year because he was a rookie, but he thinks he can be faster than he was a year ago. Montgomery still should have a pretty clear path to being the main ball carrier, but he'll have to get off to a good start most seem to think. Cohen will see his share of passing-down snaps and the team is going to get Patterson more involved this year it looks like. Monty is only ranked 29th among our backs so he's more of a lottery pick in the 5th or 6th round.
