In the age of inflated NFL salaries, the Arizona Cardinals’ David Johnson is severely underpaid. So underpaid, in fact, that the star running back elected to sit out some practices this past spring. Rest easy Cards’ fans, the holdout is apparently over.
There Johnson was on Monday, out on the field with some other Cardinals who were injured in 2017. Because of their time missed last season, the group of players were permitted to report to training camp early. In other words, Johnson was present on the very first day that he was eligible to be there.
It’s an incredibly unselfish act by the fourth-year runner.
