Chicago Bears: 5 NFL comparisons to David Montgomery through 2 seasons
4. Kareem Hunt
Matt Nagy was in the room when the Kansas City Chiefs selected Kareem Hunt. He also was the key decider when it came to trading up for David Montgomery. He talked about how Montgomery reminded him of Hunt, and that he thought that he could get similar production out of Montgomery. That has been a true statement so far.

| 2 | David Montgomery | 15 | 31 | 489 | 1959 | 14 | 4.0 | 79 | 623 | 3 | 7.9 |
The big difference In their stats through two seasons comes In the passing game. It helps when his second season was with Patrick Mahomes, but he still may be a better overall pass catcher, as he hauled in the same number of catches of over 200 more yards.
Montgomery also fewer yards despite 36 more carries. Still, they are within 200 yards of each other with the same number of rushing touchdowns. It is clear that Hunt has more explosiveness to his game, but also clear that the Chiefs offense boosted Hunt, who may not be far off from Montgomery.
