Cardinals HC Wilks praises RB on first day of OTAs
On Tuesday, the first day of organized team activities, coach Steve Wilks went out of his way to praise No. 31, David Johnson.
“I don’t want to get too excited,” Wilks said, “but David Johnson, he looked outstanding today. It’s good to have him back on there, just flying around. The things that he’s doing right now, it’s pretty exciting.” Johnson has been cleared all spring, but apparently made a special impression on Tuesday, the first time the Cardinals were allowed to use 11-on-11 drills in practice.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Johnson missed most of 2017 with a wrist injury but should be back among the fantasy running back elite in 2018. He’ll have a new offensive system and players around him, including a fullback at times, but there’s little doubt DJ will be the focal of the Cardinals offense.
