David Johnson

Just a few games into his sophomore season, Johnson appears to be on the right track to big things in his career.  He still makes mistakes but he is a difference maker.

Arians wasn’t happy with him after the victory over Tampa Bay a couple of weeks ago.  He said Johnson made too many mental mistakes.  He rushed for just 45 yards in the win.

That’s easy to do when your NFL career has spanned all of 19 regular season games.  He’s young. He’s a workhorse though who will put together a great game week in and week out.

Johnson’s versatility is what will help carry the Cardinals.  You never know where he will be.  The Cardinals are counting on their opponents confusion.

Johnson has the ability to put up triple digits in yards rushing and receiving in the same game.  The Cardinals want to get him the ball.  He will continue to get his shots as long as his head is consistently in the game.
