David Montgomery ranked second among NFL rookie rushers in both yards (889) and touchdowns (6), trailing only the Raiders' Josh Jacobs, who ran for 1,150 yards and seven TDs. The only other rookie running backs to gain at least 500 yards in 2019 were the Eagles' Miles Sanders (818) and the Bills' Devin Singletary (775). There were seven running backs selected in the first three rounds of the 2019 draft: Jacobs in the first round (at No. 24), Sanders in the second round (No. 53), and five in the third round, including Montgomery (No. 73). The other four third-rounders were the Rams' Darrell Henderson (No. 70), Singletary (No. 74), the Patriots' Damien Harris (No. 87) and the Vikings' Alexander Mattison (No. 102).
