Michigan’s Zach Charbonnet compared to Arizona Cardinals RB David Johnson

CBS Sports writer Barton Simmons recently put together a film review of Michigan incoming freshman running back Zach Charbonnet.

During Simmons’ study he said that there are similarities between Charbonnet and New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley. However, when it was time to make his pro comp for Charbonnet, Simmons said it’s Arizona Cardinals RB David Johnson.

When healthy, Johnson has been one of the best and most versatile backs in the game, a dangerous threat out of the backfield and in the passing game.

Charbonnet stands 6-foot-2 215 pounds, while Johnson is 6-foot-1 224 pounds.
