The Associated Press added the “flex” position to its All-Pro team this year, and found the perfect player to fill it.
Cardinals running back David Johnson earned the honor after a season in which he ran for 1,239 yards, amassed 879 receiving yards and totaled 20 touchdowns. Johnson also made the second team at running back, while Calais Campbell was a second-team selection at defensive tackle.
Johnson set several franchise records in 2016, and became the first player in NFL history to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his team’s first 15 games.
