With one week left in the season, rookie running back David Johnson should be the favorite to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
As a third round pick out of Northern Iowa, many Cardinal fans were excited about what David Johnson would bring to the table. Many expected Johnson to take a back seat to Andre Ellington and possibly be the third down and/or goal line back. After some unfortunate injuries to Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington, David Johnson was thrust into the starting role and ran with it.
Before even becoming the feature back, Johnson made a significant impact on the offensive side of the ball and became another weapon for quarterback Carson Palmer.
