the arizona cardinals selected johnson in the third round (86th overall) in the 2015 nfl draft. he was the seventh running back to be selected that year. the arizona cardinals originally planned to draft nebraska running back ameer abdullah in the second round (55th overall) and were speaking to abdullah on the phone when they discovered the detroit lions had selected him with their second round pick (54th overall). after failing to draft abdullah, they changed their draft plans and opted to select david johnson. johnson became the seventh running back drafted in 2015 and the only player drafted from northern iowa in that year. he was the highest drafted player out of northern iowa since jacksonville jaguars selected offensive lineman brad meester with the 60th overall pick in the 2000 nfl draft.
