The New England Patriots held a team scrimmage on Friday, and rookie running back Myles Montgomery had the play of the day.
Patriots quarterback Tommy DeVito threw a pass that was intended for wide receiver Tejhaun Palmer. Palmer bobbled the pass, but luckily, Montgomery was there to save it. He came running up the sideline, caught the bobbled pass and took it almost 50 yards. The hand-to-eye coordination was almost as impressive as his awareness on the play.
Montgomery completed what is easily the play of the summer (so far) as the Patriots are in the thick of an exciting two weeks of training camp. The Patriots released a highlight reel of plays, and Montgomery's catch comes up as the third play in the video.
Montgomery will have to work hard to stand out in a crowded running back room.
However, plays like the one he had in the scrimmage go a long way in helping him accomplish that goal. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson already have the top two running back spots locked up. So training camp will essentially crown the No. 3 option. So far, Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Jam Miller appear to be the top contenders.
