David Johnson will be the top running back for the Houston Texans this upcoming season after playing five years and two playoff games for the Arizona Cardinals since joining the NFL in 2015. Though losing DeAndre Hopkins is tough on the fan base, the addition of Johnson has to be a key focus now because he didn’t make the deal himself to be traded for one of the greatest Texans players of all-time.
Johnson at one time was a top-tier running back. He has the ability to be that again if he can recover from injuries and get the proper number of carries and targets needed to do so, but that wasn’t the case in his final season with the Cardinals.
