Nick Montana was a steady, experienced Tulane QB with a live arm and proven bowl-game experience
Nick Montana brought Tulane a proven college résumé: a 6-foot-3 quarterback who had already logged 24 starts and, in the 2013 season, threw for 1,717 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while helping the Green Wave reach a bowl game. His differentiators were experience, poise in a backup-to-starter transition, and enough arm talent to produce explosive plays, but his profile also came with inconsistency and a turnover-prone stretch that cost him the starting job in 2014. For a team, he fit as a veteran depth option rather than a high-upside franchise answer.
