Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox gridiron football person Gregory Hugh Montgomery Jr. (October 29, 1964 – August 23, 2020) was a National Football League (NFL) punter from 1988 to 1997 for the Houston Oilers, Detroit Lions, and Baltimore Ravens.
Raised in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, Montgomery played football at Red Bank Regional High School, where he had hoped to be a linebacker rather than a punter.[1] He was drafted in the third round of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Oilers.[2]
In his nine NFL seasons, Montgomery led the NFL in yards per punt average three times (1990, 1992, 1993), was selected to one Pro Bowl and First-team All-Pro (1993), and finished his career with 22,831 punting yards and 120 punts inside the opponents 20 yard line. His longest punt of 77 yards was with the Houston Oilers.[3]
Montgomery is on the Michigan State University all-time team.
Post-playing career
In 2003, Montgomery started ZenPunt 5.0, and was the company's president/CEO. [4]
Montgomery died on August 23, 2020, after succumbing to a long-term illness. [5]
