After Rough Start, Happy Life For David Johnson

David Johnson was an obscure running back at Northern Iowa a year ago and is now the starter for one of the best teams in the NFL. His jersey went to the Hall of Fame after two games, and he’s only the second player in history to score four rushing, four receiving and a kick return touchdown as a rookie.

This past Thursday night -- after Johnson logged a 19-carry, 92-yard performance in the Cardinals’ 23-20 win over the Vikings -- the most famous player on the team playfully ribbed him.

“Somebody’s got to ask David about that Christmas sweater,” star receiver Larry Fitzgerald said with a devilish grin.
