Michael Lewis Montgomery II is a former NFL defensive end and collegiate standout at Texas A&M, widely respected for his resilience and leadership both on and off the field. Born on August 18, 1983, in Carthage, Texas, he earned All-State honors in football and basketball at Center High School before becoming a JUCO All-American at Navarro Junior College. At Texas A&M, he was named First-Team All-Big 12 and received the Aggie Heart Award following a remarkable comeback from congenital heart disease—Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome—that almost claimed his life.
Selected by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Michael played six seasons in the league, recording 124 total tackles, five sacks, and one forced fumble while starting eight games. Following his NFL career, he also spent time in the UFL and CFL, continuing his love for the game.
Today, Michael inspires others through storytelling and advocacy. He’s the author of the children’s book Michael Montgomery: Heart of a Lion, a bilingual tale created to raise awareness of heart health and encourage children to believe in their inner strength. He also wrote A Heartbeat Away From Destiny, sharing his improbable journey from near-fatal heart collapse to professional athlete. A committed philanthropist, Michael partners with organizations like the SafeBeat Initiative to promote access to heart screenings and support children with cardiac arrhythmia syndromes.
On BookVid, Michael offers personalized video messages for birthdays or encouragement, intimate one-on-one conversations that tap into his journey of overcoming adversity, and speaking sessions where he shares insights into heart-health advocacy, athletic perseverance, and purpose-driven living.
