Montgomery was looking good in preseason as an undrafted rookie last year. However, he ended up missing the entire season with a hamstring injury.
He is 6'2" and brings good athleticism to the position with an excellent set of pro day workout numbers. The Jets dressed just six receivers at practice today but had already signed Donte Moncrief, who should be available to practice soon.
