Video Rundown: A look at David Johnson's skill set and the fit with the Texans offense
The Houston Texans traded for running back David Johnson from the Arizona Cardinals to add to their backfield. Finding how he fits into the Texans offense will be key in 2020 and here is a closer look at Johnson's skill set and how it could transition to the offense.
Johnson has spent five seasons in Arizona where he has appeared in 62 games rushing for 3,128 yards and rushing for 33 touchdowns. He is also a pass-catching threat that has caught 208 passes for 2,219 yards and 15 touchdowns.
It will be up to offensive coordinator Tim Kelly to match Johnson's skill set to the Texans' offense and prove head coach Bill O'Brien right in landing Johnson in the trade with the Cardinals.
