Lions OC Drew Petzing Hints At David Montgomery’s Role In 2026

Mike Payton breaks down what Petzing said about getting the best players on the field, why a two-back system featuring both Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs still makes sense, and what this could mean for Detroit’s offensive identity heading into 2026.
