  Draft Scout by Conference









  Monty Montgomery says he can beat anyone at chess, just as soon as he learns how to play. The Louisville linebacker is comically confident, a self-hyping senior who conjures a modern day Muhammad Ali with braided dreadlocks. Though he has been remarkably productive in a limited role, leading U of L in quarterback sacks in two separate seasons despite playing primarily on third down, Montgomery talks a game so big it calls for its own area code. He calls himself a "rock star," the "best ever," and has predicted an All-America season for himself with "monumental awards." "It's time for me to unleash," he said Friday, "and flash the greatness." Whether Montgomery's boasts are sincere or merely a playful pose is an unsolved mystery - U of L defensive coordinator Bryan Brown said he's not sure he has ever encountered another player so outwardly confident - but few athletes have been more dedicated to the pursuit of their dreams.

Admittedly afflicted by "little man syndrome," the 5-foot-11 Montgomery is known for logging the longest hours at U of L's practice facility and for a competitive edge that has been sharpened since childhood in family pushup contests and football games played not only to win, but to humiliate rivals. "Just the fact that you can embarrass a man and not feel any remorse about it, that's the best feeling, man," Montgomery said. "If you take away a man's emotional state, then you win everything, I feel like." - Courier Journal
