| 19th January, 2006 - 2:08 pm |  ESPN - Larry Johnson will be the Kansas City Chiefs starting running back next season regardless of Priest Holmes' health.
Johnson said new coach Herman Edwards gave him the role during their first meeting Tuesday.
"He told me I would be the guy going into training camp and that I should start the season prepared to start," Johnson told the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Johnson finished the season with nine straight 100-yard games, 1,750 yards and 20 touchdowns (plus one receiving) after Holmes was put on the disabled list Nov. 9 with head and neck trauma.
"[Edwards] said, I want to tell you this now that when we get going, you'll have to be the guy on this team who is the leader and gets things done," Johnson added Wednesday on ESPN's "Cold Pizza." [READ] |
