Cardinals coach Bruce Arians described Andre Ellington as a No. 1 back and said he expects Ellington to receive 25-30 touches per game, reports Fox Sports. While those numbers are surely hyperbole, they're an indication Arians believes Ellington can handle a major workload.
Ellington got 157 touches as a rookie, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and 9.5 yards per catch.
