The Arizona Cardinals are beginning to line up some official draft prospect visits. Allowed to fly in and host 30 players over the next few weeks to get a closer look at them, some names they plan on meeting with are beginning to emerge.
One name recently reported by Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler is Washington running back Dillon Johnson. He also has them scheduled with the Steelers and Vikings. Cardinals among teams with top-30 visits with Washington RB Dillon Johnson
Johnson, after three years at Mississippi State, transferred to Washington and rushed for 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging 5.1 yards per attempt in 2023.
At the NFL combine, he measured under six feet tall and weighed 217 pounds. He ran the 40 in 4.68 seconds with a 31.5-inch vertical leap and 9-foot-9 broad jump.
He is a tough runner with below-average burst and speed but is physical and has decent vision.
He could be a Day 3 option for the Cardinals.
