Walker will call Johnson's name a lot after he averaged nearly 10 yards per carry last season, sprinting for 1,700 yards and twenty scores. On defense, play in the secondary should be strong with Kadarian Pugh and Corey Johnson returning. The defensive front is solid with David Mergele and Thomas Gray leading the way. Another seven win season or better is more than possible.
