2. David Johnson:

The Arizona Cardinals 3rd round pick and a running back out of Northern Iowa is more than poised to make the roster.

In 2012, while at Northern Iowa, Johnson rushed for over 1,000 yards. In his final season at UNI he rushed for 1,553 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Johnson currently owns every Northern Iowa rushing record and several receiving ones as well.

If Johnson can be at least somewhat productive as the second running back, the Cardinals will have a solid season at running back. He still needs to adapt to the NFL game, but he should have a great first season with the club.
