NEW ORELANS — New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with Ty Montgomery II on a one-year contract.
Montgomery, 6-0, 216, was originally a third-round pick (94th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford.
After he was originally selected as a wide receiver, he transitioned to running back in 2016 and played both positions for New Orleans in 2020.
In 2020 after signing with the club in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, Montgomery saw action at both running back and wide receiver for New Orleans, playing in six games with one start and carrying 19 times for 101 yards and catching three passes for 27 yards, also returning two kickoffs for 57 yards.
In the regular season finale on Jan. 3 at Carolina and with playoff seeding at stake, Montgomery was thrust into the feature back role and carried 18 times for 105 yards, (5.8 avg.), including a second quarter 36-yard rush for the second-highest rushing total of his career.
