David Montgomery emphasized that the Detroit Lions are motivated for the upcoming 2025 season after a disappointing playoff loss in 2024. Following a franchise-best 15-win season, the team seeks to move beyond simply being close to winning a Super Bowl. Montgomery expressed frustration at the near-miss and stressed the importance of finishing strong this year. Training camp opened with the team eager and focused, highlighting the urgency to achieve their goals and not settle for previous accomplishments after two NFC North titles.
"Everybody's tired of being close. It's cool to be close at first, but you don't want to get comfortable with being close all the time. That’s not what you want to be known for especially when you know you've got the guys you've got on this team. You want to finish it, so this is the year for us. The year of the reckoning and the year that we choose that we need to finish."
"This is probably the hungriest that I have been because I feel like a lot of people kind of forget that I'm here in the offense, too. So, I'm not here to prove anybody wrong, I'm here to prove myself right and be the best teammate that I can be."
