Arizona Cardinals: Six keys to success in 2017

4. David Johnson keeps doing David Johnson type things.

With David Johnson’s remarkable 2016 season, it would feel greedy to ask for more from the star running back out of Northern Iowa. The scary (in a good way) thing, is that he could do just that – improve upon his 2016 performance. The scary (in a bad way) thing, is every running back is one bad tackle away from the Injured Reserve.

So while a more productive 2017 season would certainly be beneficial for the Cardinals, what they really need out of Johnson is that he stays healthy and does not regress. A repeat of his 2016 performance would be enough for the Cardinals to contend, if the other units of the team make the requisite improvements.

In other words, David Johnson – go on with your bad self.
