They were only on the field together for a few plays, but Saturday night’s preseason game against the Chargers marked the first time Sam Bradford got a real chance to play alongside running back David Johnson and the Cardinals quarterback had remarked beforehand just how much he was looking forward to it.
Bradford first got a look at Johnson three years ago in Philadelphia, where he was the quarterback of the Eagles. It was Johnson’s third start of his NFL career and he rushed for a career-high 187 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also caught four passes for 42 yards.
