The Houston Texans are in an interesting position at running back after acquiring David Johnson and draft compensation in exchange for All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Johnson, 28, was one of the most complete backs in the passing and running games when healthy. However, the change of coaching staff in Arizona combined with unfortunate injuries slowed his momentum as one of the best running backs in the league. Kenyan Drake’s productive season only made Johnson more expendable entering the offseason.
Johnson is a unique back in his own right earning Pro Bowl recognition and First-team All-Pro accolades in 2016.
