David Johnson cemented his status as the Arizona Cardinals starting back after a tremendous rookie season.
With questions regarding Andre Ellington’s durability, the Cardinals took a chance on a running back out of the University of Northern Iowa in the third round. It ended up being one of the best picks in the entire draft. David Johnson finished the season rushing for 581 yards and 8 touchdowns, while catching 36 passes for 457 yards and 4 touchdowns. Johnson tied for 2nd in the league for total touchdowns with 13, and finished 5th in kick return average with 27.
