Eight NFL players that deserve huge raises

Derek Carr

David Johnson, running back, Arizona Cardinals

Johnson is another grossly underpaid NFL player compared to the solid gold he has rewarded the Cardinals with the past two seasons.

It might be too early to label him a future Hall of Famer. But Johnson’s meager $2.919 million salary spread over four years earns him a spot on this list. He is an absolute bargain for the Cardinals, who smartly selected him the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

To date, Johnson has put up a grand total of 3,754 yards from scrimmage. That equates to a stout average of 117.3 per game over his first two seasons. Johnson also has 33 combined touchdowns on record.

He is under contract for two more seasons. And if he keeps performing like a rockstar, Johnson is on course to become a multi-millionaire overnight.
