David Johnson Doesn't Mind Running Out Of Shotgun
6 years agoArizona Cardinals running back David Johnson said he doesn't mind being utilized out of the shotgun formation at all. It's unknown how much new head coach Kliff Kingsbury will use Johnson as a receiver, but the coach has already told Johnson to be ready for a healthy workload. Kingsbury has made it clear that his offense will feature a lot of shotgun formations. "I actually love that," Johnson said. "I did that in college. That's all we did in college is the gun, a read-option-type thing. I think it really opens up more space for me and makes me able to read the defense a little bit more." Johnson's stock as a high-end RB1 took a hit after a disappointing 2018 season, but he could bounce back in this offense, but a lot will depend on the offensive line and who is running the show under center.
