David Johnson’s NFL ascension has been swift, having risen from third-round draft pick out of Northern Iowa to one of the league’s best players in just two seasons.
Add another accomplishment to the resume.
Johnson is featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s NFL preview with the headline 31 Teams, 1 Goal: Stop David . The cover photo is a promo for Greg Bishop’s profile on the Arizona Cardinals running back and former UNI standout, titled The Mutant Greatness of the NFL’s Best Back.
“Might not know me at the start of my career, but I promise you'll know me at the end of it,” Johnson tweeted Tuesday, adding a picture of the cover and the hashtags #JustGettingStarted #SI2017 and #GodsBlessings.
