There’s a lot of different opinions on whether or not the trade was good or bad, or how good of a player he was, etc. But i think most of us loved the guy.
This is for those like me who knows how good he was, and for everyone who appreciates him. We love you Dmo. Goodluck in Houston!
I do appreciate Montgomery and all he did as a Lion. But my favorite moment for him was when he invaded Hutch’s press conference.
This interaction between Aidan Hutchinson & David Montgomery is gold

He seemed like a good, down to Earth individual. Loved rooting for him, and I will continue to do so. That Cinci game with his sister got me. Good luck DMO!
It’s hard to find the right words for a goodbye like this.
Detroit has never just been a location to me — it’s been a community. And you all have been more than supporters or a team. You’ve been steady hands, loud cheers, honest feedback, and quiet strength when I needed it most.
You believed in me when things were uncertain.
You stood beside me through challenges.
You showed up — consistently, fiercely, unapologetically.
There is something special about the people here. The resilience. The loyalty. The way you don’t just support someone — you ride with them. I have felt that from each of you, and I will never take that lightly.
This isn’t goodbye because something ended. It’s goodbye because something grew. And growth sometimes calls us forward.
Please know this:
Everything I do next carries a piece of Detroit with it.
The work ethic. The edge. The heart.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for pushing me.
Thank you for walking this chapter with me.
I’m beyond grateful — and I’ll always be proud to say I was shaped by this city and by you.
With appreciation and respect,
Dmoe
Hard guy not to like and root for. Seems like a genuinely good guy.
He was a top 3 Lion for me since he first laced up for us. I wish we would have handled things differently with him and been able to keep him around. I wish him the best in Houston and will be rooting for him against everyone but us.
Every player needs a Cap or a CMafia
wish you well in everything you do going forward in your career and your life, It was great to have you here.
