Rookie running back David Johnson is impressing his head coach with his ability on the football field.

When the Cardinals drafted Johnson in the third-round out of Northen Iowa, head coach Bruce Arians said Andre Ellington will continue his same role as the lead running back. But Arians is not concerned about finding playing time for his rookie running back.

“Very, very bright", Arians said, via the Arizona Republic. “The kid can do anything as far as a wide receiver, running back, fullback. He will find a niche quick because he can learn so much."
