David Johnson, from Clinton via UNI, doing very well in NFL

Good to see an Iowa kid doing well. Cardinals say he is very mature and hope he stays away from the injuries long enough to get a big contract.

He's a beast and with 13 TDs he should be getting plenty of votes for NFL Rookie of the Year ... the AZ Cardinals are for real.

I know we shouldnt cry over spilled milk or not recruiting him but he would have been a great Hawk running back. If healthy and having Mark Weisman blocking for him maybe a few more wins the from 2011-14.

Very glad to see him doing well. Hope he gets ROY. He sure would of been a great addition to the Hawks.

He would have gotten hurt his freshman year here, moved to safety been a backup there and never seen the field, transferred to Southern Illinois at some point and starred there before getting picked up as a free agent in the NFL. Consider it a bullet dodged.
