Last year, the Kerryon Johnson hype was real. After his breakout game against the Miami Dolphins, in which he rushed for 158 yards and 8.3 yards per carry, Johnson was firmly in the Offensive Rookie of the Year discussion. At the time, he was second in the league in yards per carry (6.4) and ninth in rushing yards (444).
But a month later, it was all over. Johnson suffered a leg injury against the Panthers in Week 11 and didn’t return the rest of the season.
