My Take
What strikes me about David Johnson is the arc, not the stat line. A third-round pick out of Northern Iowa is supposed to be a roster gamble, yet he turned that into Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition by 2016. I read him as a player whose value came from versatility and grind rather than pure pedigree, and that kind of story tends to resonate longer than highlight reels. Five seasons anchoring the Cardinals' backfield is no small feat. I find myself respecting the unglamorous discipline behind that rise more than the accolades it eventually produced.
