Panthers in the Pros: NFL Week 5

In 16 games in 2015, rookie David Johnson had 581 rushing yards, 547 receiving yards, 598 kick off return yards and a total of 13 touchdowns for the Arizona Cardinals. Through just five games in 2016, Johnson has almost met his rushing total from a year ago with 457, also bringing in 238 receiving yards.

His mid-season success continues to rise this year, including earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his impressive performance in the Cardinals win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Clinton, Iowa native finished the game with 157 yards on the ground on 27 carries, averaging 5.8 yards per carry. He punched in two touchdowns, his second multi-touchdown game of the year.

Also seeing action for the Cardinals on Sunday was defensive lineman Xavier Williams. It was his second game of the year, notching one tackle. The Panthers also had two more former UNI standouts see playing time on the defensive side of the ball, with Deiondre' Hall continuing to get key minutes as a rookie and L.J. Fort recording another tackle in the Steelers win over the New York Jets.

Former offensive lineman Austin Howard came off the injured list this past week, seeing action in the Raiders win over the San Diego Chargers.
