James Conner makes a statement Arizona Cardinals fans are going to adore
James Conner is ready to usurp a career 2023 season with a more dominant approach to 2024.
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner said he feels like his potential is limitless.
At least that is what he claims when speaking with Josh Weinfuss, an ESPN staff writer. He ran for 1,040 yards and scored seven rushing touchdowns in 2023. It was the first time Conner, 29, broke the 1,000-yard mark in his seven-year career.
"That's the floor," Conner said. "I want that to be the lowest I rush for in my career going forward.
"Definitely got a lot of work to put in but that's the floor, not the ceiling."
According to ESPN Stats & Information, only five players have had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in the last two years. These players are Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Tony Pollard, Najee Harris, and Travis Etienne Jr. Since 2000, only 82 players have rushed for at least 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.
Conner believes he is ready to spring into a better 2024 season. With the return of Kyler Murray and the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr., the Cardinals offense looks ready to leap into a bounce-back campaign.
However, success will come down to how healthy the team is once fall comes around.
