He didn't play in 2023 and now former Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson, who played for Washington Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury, is retiring.
Before Kliff Kinsbury was the offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders he coached at several other spots.
One of those spots, his only other NFL job to date, was as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2019-2022 where he had a couple of running backs that could remind some of Commanders third-year back Brian Robinson Jr.Washington saw first hand what running back David Johnson could do in person twice, both times when he was with the Cardinals, though both games came before he and Kingsbury joined forces.
Johnson and running back Kenyan Drake were Kingsbury's primary backs his first year coaching in Arizona. In the offseason before the 2020 NFL Season, however, Johnson was sent to the Houston Texans in the trade that brought receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals.After spending two seasons with the Texans Johnson moved on to the New Orleans Saints where he appeared in five games in 2022. Johnson did not play in 2023.
He finishes his career with just over 1,000 carries, 277 receptions, over 6,800 scrimmage yards, and 57 total touchdowns. Johnson was a Pro Bowl player and First-Team All-Pro member in 2016.David Harrison has covered the NFL since 2015 as a digital content creator in both written and audio media. He is the host of Locked On Commanders and a graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University.
