GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A collective hush fell over Ray Nitschke Field during Monday's practice, when rookie receiver Ty Montgomery -- one of the stars of Green Bay Packers training camp -- needed help getting to the sideline.

"I got hit in the gonads," Montgomery said later. "Twice."

The first time, he kept running.

"I was like, 'OK that one hurt, but I'm going to finish," he said.

After the second one, he went down. It was more than just a fist to the groin area.

"I think a club the second time got me in the same sweet spot," he said.

That had to be linebacker Nate Palmer, who has a club-like cast on his injured left hand.

Nevertheless, Montgomery came back to make another one of the eye-catching plays he's made throughout camp. During a red zone period, the third-round pick from Stanford made a leaping grab in the end zone on a fade from quarterback Scott Tolzien over cornerback Quinten Rollins.

So far in camp, Montgomery has caught deep balls using his speed, made defenders miss with his quick-twitch change of direction and now flashed his leaping ability.

"No matter how the ball is thrown to me, it's my job as a receiver to adjust and make the catch," he said. "That's part of being a receiver and that's what I pride myself on is catching the ball when it comes my way."
