David Montgomery Makes Bold Claim About Lions’ Running Back Duo
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery didn’t hold back during a recent interview with NFL Network, confidently proclaiming that he and teammate Jahmyr Gibbs form the best running back duo in the NFL.
Montgomery, who has been a key piece of the Lions’ offense, explained that their success is built on both chemistry and selflessness. “We’re definitely the best running back duo in the league. Me and Jahmyr (Gibbs), that’s my dog,” Montgomery said. He went on to highlight the importance of focusing on the team’s success over individual glory, saying, “You’ve got to be in a position, and a mental headspace, to be selfless enough to be appreciative of someone else’s success.”
Their bond, both on and off the field, is undeniable. Montgomery described their partnership as “super special,” further emphasizing that despite the competitive nature of football, their shared goal is the greater good of the Lions’ offense. He’s proud of their relationship and is confident in their future, adding, “When it’s all said and done, and me and him are done playing together, we’ll be the best running back duo to ever play together.”
In the 2024 season, despite Montgomery missing three full games due to injury, the duo combined for 3,045 scrimmage yards and 32 touchdowns, a remarkable feat. Their chemistry and dominance on the field continue to make a significant impact for the Lions, and Montgomery’s bold prediction shows just how confident he is in the partnership’s potential to go down in history as one of the best ever.
