Pre-draft Buzz:
When David Johnson was coming into the league, uncertainty was a given, as many thought of him as a third down back in the NFL. It wasn’t that he came into the NFL as a bonafide star, but rather a ‘developmental’ future featured back. That becomes difficult for a running back to break the mold when you have critics everywhere you look.
Want proof of the doubters? What about the six other running backs taken before David Johnson? That means that NFL clubs thought there really was six, that’s right, SIX running backs that were more talented than the Humble Rumble.
