Coach Herm Edwards stated on Wednesday that he plans to get
Larry Johnson more touches as a receiver in 2007. "That's the next step in his development as a running back in this league: His ability to come out of the backfield running routes," Edwards told the Kansas City Star. "We need to get the ball to our backs a little more than we did last year." Johnson caught 41 passes last year, and Edwards would like to see that number closer to 60 this season.
