The Arizona Cardinals have high hopes for their offense in 2019. After having the worst offense in the NFL last season in practically every single meaningful category, they hired Kliff Kingsbury, drafted Kyler Murray and acquired at least two starters on the offensive line.

They drafted three receivers.

One player remains a main focus for 2019 — running back David Johnson.

Kingsbury sees big things for Johnson.

“David Johnson, we think in our offense — throwing the football, running the football, the way we’re going to use him — is going to have a phenomenal season,” he told the entire Cardinals staff, as shown in the latest episode of Cardinals Flight Plan.

Johnson was one of the league’s best in 2016 when he gained more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage, leading the league, and also scoring more TDs than anyone else. However, he lost almost all 2017 to a wrist injury and struggled last season in an offensive scheme that did not utilize all his skills and playing behind an offensive line that was ravaged by injuries and poor play.

Johnson wants to reach both 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards. Kingsbury wouldn’t say recently specifically whether Johnson will be able to reach that goal but it appears that he will be a focal point of the offense and that he will be used more as a receiver than he was a year ago.

How phenomenal is phenomenal? Would it be too much to expect a repeat of 2016? If not that much production, it should be fairly close to that.
