EAGLE, Mich. (WXYZ) — Scouting America is putting together a video comprised of Scout submissions after Lions running back David Montgomery was ruled out for the season.
Montgomery suffered a knee injury in this past weekend's loss to the Buffalo Bills. One half of the electric Sonic & Knuckles backfield, Montgomery has rushed for 4.2 yards per carry (185 carries for 775 yards) and 12 rushing touchdowns. League-wide, Montgomery ranks 20th in rushing yards and tied-fourth in rushing touchdowns.
Montgomery is an Eagle Scout, and Scouting America is calling on Michigan Scots to rally together to record encouraging messages to help with Montgomery's recovery.
