Biography

NoteCARDS:

  • Signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on 4/13/21 as an unrestricted free agent following four seasons (2017-20) with Pittsburgh. Re-signed with Arizona in March of 2022, agreeing to a three-year contract.
  • A two-time captain (2022-23), two-time Pro Bowl (2018, '21), two-time Player of the Week (Week 8 of 2018; Week 8 of 2019) and one-time Player of the Month (October of 2018) selection.
  • In his first three seasons (2021-23) with Arizona, appeared in 41 games (32 starts) and rushed for 2,574 yards and 29 TDs on 593 carries (4.3 avg.) while adding 110 receptions for 840 yards and six TDs.
  • His 35 total TDs and 29 rushing TDs both represent the highest totals in Cardinals history in a player's first three seasons with the team.
  • Has scored 16 total TDs vs. division opponents since joining the Cardinals in 2021, the most by any NFL player against their own division during that span.
  • After going without a 100-yard rushing performance in his first 23 games with the Cardinals, has hit 100+ rushing yards five times in his last 18 games played – including three times in his final five games played in 2023.
  • Rushed for 1,040 yards and seven TDs on 208 carries (5.0 avg.) in 13 games played in 2023, marking his first career 1,000-yard rushing season. Also added 165 yards and two TDs on 27 receptions.
  • Led the NFL in runs of 20+ yards (11), ranked 2nd in rushing yards/game (80.0), 3rd in runs of 10+ yards (31), 6th in rushing yards (1,040), 7th in rushing average (5.00) and tied for 3rd with four games of 100+ rushing yards in '23.
  • The '23 campaign marked his third straight season with 1,000+ scrimmage yards in Arizona, joining RB Ottis Anderson (1979-81) as the only players in Cardinals history to have 1,000+ scrimmage yards in each of their first three seasons with the team.
  • Finished the 2022 season with 1,082 scrimmage yards and eight TDs in 13 games.
  • In 2022 had a streak of six consecutive games with a TD (Games 10-15), tying the third longest streak in team history. In the Cardinals first 101 seasons (1920-20) as an NFL franchise a player had a streak of six consecutive games with a TD in a single season just twice.
  • Earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021 after playing in 15 games (6 starts) during the regular season, finishing the year with 752 yards and 15 rushing TDs on 202 rushing attempts while adding 37 receptions for 375 yards and three TDs. Also scored the Cardinals lone TD in the Wild Card matchup.

  • His 18 total TDs in 2021 marked the second-highest single-season total in Cardinals history and ranked third in the NFL that year. His 15 rushing TDs also represented the second-highest single-season total in team annals and ranked second in the NFL.
  • All 18 of his TDs during the 2021 regular season came in his final 13 games played. Had six games with multiple TDs in '21, joining RB David Johnson (8 in 2016) as the only players in franchise history to have at least six such performances in a single season.
  • Had at least one TD (rushing or receiving) in seven consecutive games (Games 7-13) in 2021, tied for the longest streak in franchise history. Included in that stretch was a streak of five straight games with a rushing TD, tying the longest such streak in team history.
  • Earned his first career Pro Bowl selection with the Steelers in 2018, when he rushed for 12 TDs (third in the NFL) and 973 yards while catching 55 passes for 497 yards a TD in just 13 games.
  • After tearing his MCL during the first game of his junior year at the University of Pittsburgh (2015), attended rehab and began experiencing excessive fatigue and other symptoms, leading doctors to perform a chest x-ray that revealed Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He endured 12 rounds of chemotherapy and completed his last chemo appointment on May 9, 2016. On May 23, 2016, he announced that he was cancer free.
