CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Former UNI running back and current NFL star David Johnson has been selected to his first-career Pro Bowl, it was announced yesterday. Johnson will play on the NFC roster alongside teammates Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson.
Johnson, a standout athlete for the Arizona Cardinals, was voted into the Pro Bowl by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Panther fans had no doubt that Johnson would excel in the league, turning in an outstanding rookie campaign, but his second year in the NFL has been something to remember.
He has rushed for over 1,000 yards and is just 200 yards short of 1,000 yards receiving with two game to go in the season.
