Houston Texans running back David Montgomery appeared on NFL Network’s "The Insiders" today to outline his championship ambitions and praise quarterback CJ Stroud, according to NFL Network.
Montgomery, who joined the Texans via trade from the Detroit Lions in March 2026, emphasized his desire to bring a Super Bowl title to Houston. The veteran ball carrier noted that while many label him strictly as a "power back," he intends to showcase a more versatile skill set in his first season with the organization. "I’m more of a show than a tell kind of guy," Montgomery said during the interview, per @RapSheet.
Addressing his new teammate, Montgomery spoke highly of Stroud's leadership and resilience following the quarterback's recent seasons. He described Stroud as "mentally relentless" and a "dog," noting that the quarterback's ability to handle both highs and lows makes him a player he is eager to "go to war with" in 2026. Montgomery also touched on his role as a veteran leader for a backfield that includes Woody Marks.
The 29-year-old running back arrives in Houston following a productive tenure in Detroit. According to NFL Network, Montgomery is focused on integrating into the Texans' culture established by head coach DeMeco Ryans as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign.
