The smoothest runner maybe in the history of football it didn't even look like he was trying and he pulled away from defenders effortlessly I will never forget CJ2K
Jamaal Charles would also make that list
@@fredleeland2464 factssss love his game also.
Eric Dickerson🤷🏼♂️
@@jaydon7956 yea he was a glider kinda the blueprint for smooth fast runners.
Alton Rodgers he was the ultimate home run hitting running back. You always knew he could take it to the house from 90+ yards
Man Chris Johnson was somethin else in his prime! He was incredible
No joke fr he was bad dude

Ravens squad get at us 😘😘😘😘😘
As a Texan fan it was crazy seeing MJD, CJ2K and Foster in the same division making moves every week.
Jags fan here hopefully we get back into the excitement football needs from the South
Earl Cambell (Back when they were the Houston Oilers) to Eddie George to Chris Johnson and now Derek Henry. That's a pretty fantastic history of great RB's for this franchise. people forget that Chris Johnson was a called back touchdown because of a penalty away from having the all-time single season rushing record.
Sadly only had a couple good quarterbacks
Very true
Ayyyy man I remember that game ...thanks for refreshing my memory. I tell my son's about all them RBs from my era. Marshall Faulk is my guy tho from that era.
The NFL is rigged
Got the yards from scrimmage record tho, from marshall Faulk which is an amazing stat
You can’t even see how fast he is until you see him zoom past the safeties
Sure you can you can look at his 100m dash time 10.66 which ranks him 78th in NFL history.
@@sydboski There's a big difference tho between a track 100m dash time, and cleats with grass.
@@MrAbcdefgbarney The difference is equal for everyone.
sydboski u are slow it’s not the same at all not to mention hand times and electronic
@@Imsowaveyb If anyome is slow it is you. Electronic timing is just the way the time is displayed. There are three types of timing. 1. Hand: start and stop by hand. 2. Semi automatic: (which is what the NFL uses since 1999) that is started by hand and stopped by laser. 3. Fully automatic: started by gun and stopped by laser. When I said the difference is the same for everyone I meant. The difference between running on a track in spikes and running on grass in cleats. Every sprinter who has run track and played football has run on a track and run on turf. So the difference in running surfaces is equal. The times will not be equal. But all the track times since 1964 are all fully automatic, and all the NFL 40's are semi auto since 1999. Hand times are now not official.
Chris johnson: so good even Jeff Fisher cant hold him back
@Seth Clark Jeff Fisher had 6 winning seasons out of 16 with the Titans. Not good, mediocre, would've gotten him fired many other places!!
@Seth Clark jeff fisher has ruined multiple Superbowl caliber teams. Never understoold why so many teams handed him the keys to their Porsche
Fisher was terroble. He looked to destroy careers and Vince was screwed over by him. Fisher is trash.
jeff fisher killed QB's careers
Steve McNair is the only reason Jeff Fisher had a job that long, be real.
You only knew how fast this guy was going by looking at the other guys .. never seen someone like that.. he literally looked like he was jogging.. one of the most fun seasons ever to watch
8:33 one of many, it’s unreal and he’s doing it to against guys probably running 4.5s and 4.6s too, definitely was one of my favorites to watch
@@bennbutters2578 6:19, #31 running as fast as he can while Johnson jogs 90 yards for a touchdown.. oh and 31 also pulls up limp
Chris Johnson was a beast. He started taking on too many defenders too. He was tough. But instead of just outrunning people, he began accepting pointless contact. Injuries began to creep in. Sport is always mental before physical. Dont give up your advantage if you have one.
He was the real deal. In the 2010’s, it was all about AP, CJ2K, MJD, Shady McCoy & Jamaal Charles
Gary Donnelly edgerin james was done by the 2010s and LT was old as dirt
Gary Donnelly bruh what LT’s last season was in 2011 and he only ran for 200 yards I’m actually a fan of LT but he’s not known as a back of the 2000s and wasn’t in his prime
Moses Carter LT isn’t a known back of the 2000’s? He set the td record. Won mvp. Had a season with 1000+ yards and 100 receptions.
Arian foster was cold as hell
Lil Crusteez I meant 2010s
People forget he had four 1,000 yard rushing seasons after he rushed for 2,000 People don’t give him the credit he deserves he rushed for over 1,000 yards 6 years in a row.
no one cares really
1000 yard season is very average.
@@blitzburghletsgo9359 Dude, only 7 players did it in 2021 with an extra game. 1000 yards is a big accomplishment

Man
Speed and Power 1-2 punch
My oldest brother played spring ball with CJ2K at ECU as a fullback and he always said when Chris ran by you could hear the wind behind him. Crazy speed
chris johnson is one of my favourite back. so underrated despite having a amazing nfl career. straight 6 1000+ yard seasons. even when his career was winding down with the cardinals he was having a very productive year until injury in 2015.
Not sure if underrated, heis first 2 years were great, then he was good, then he was just productive
Tom Whitehouse Chris Johnson was the reason I started watching football as a kid
@@sekaikage he isnt underrated because he was regularly talked about during that time (won AP Off POY) and also his ypc dropped off dramatically and the issue people had was his vision went to looking for the big play rather than what was the good play leading to plenty of no yard gains Overall his career is well documented as a quality RB for 6/7 years, not a all time great of this generation Ask me a underrated RB I'd say Willie Parker from 2006 to 2008, arguably a top 3 RB at that time
@@sekaikage Im just saying tou never hear about Willie Parker, he was never in the running for any awards or discussed Like the AFC South had good RBs at the same time, MJD, Foster, Johnson...those three were all discussed heavy at the time but MJD was on a trash team and Johnson's team stopped winning while Foster was going off and the Texans were hitting the playoffs every year Most fans of football would recognize I would say CJ2K's rookie year is underrated as probably a top 5 rookie year all time, like brought immediate change but most people would go to his 2000 yard season
at ecu he ran people over more than burn them lmao
This man said "it dont matter, safety nothing I'm finna score " 🤣🤣🤣
7:25 MJD with 2 TDs and 179 yards on 7 carries this guy was crazy
He was the best runner the Jags will ever have had!!
I had to go back and make sure that was the real stat line! prime MJD was INSANE
@@prynceal6762 no, Fred Taylor is the best the Jags ever had
insanity
How does he look like a rapper and a nfl star 😂😂
He went to my high school. Some of his track records still stand today.
That's actually really cool
I know he went to East Carolina so I take it he went to school somewhere in South Carolina High School that is?

@@AyeeShaad he is saying that he ran for 1000 yards twice in a single season which equals 2000 yards
@@AyeeShaad you must be insecure asf to be calling people names when nothing negative was said to you
@@AyeeShaad definitely paying homage to cj2k name and his 2000 yard season. Not his speed. So the OP IS in fact saying you wanna see me run for 1000 yards? Then see me do it again? 1000+1000=2000. Basically do you want to see me have two great seasons in one? I hate explaining jokes but you....matter fact... WHOSE MANS IS THIS?

Eddie George, Kris Johnson, then Derrick Henry? Tennessee knows running backs
Chris*
@Chandler Russell damn 😭
Yeah for real! Being a Colts fan - wish we had that sort of history with our running backs. That lineup there is just straight up sick. They’ve tore us up over the years being in the same division too.
Houston drafted Eddie fool
Earl Cambell !!!
Derrick Henry keeping the running back position in Tennessee safe
Decay_ JPP titans seem to always have a great running back. eddie george,chris johnson, demarco murray now derrick henry
@@diglo123 now we just need a QB :(
Stryk22 fax, I feel like if Marcus Mariota adapted a Lamar play style he could be dangerous with his speed
@@clearbandwagoner9249 definitely but he needs a team that will let he do it. Also he needs some continuity. Titans failed him. He's had to many different coaches and OCs. Stability is key in QB development. I hope he goes somewhere where they let him use his entire skillset. Titans could have been dangerous with play action, RPO, Read option all this time. I'm happy with the offense now with Tannehill though. He seems to have a great feel for the game and Qb-ing in general.
Passport Boundless FAX
So no one gon point out the fact that Jones-Drew had 179 yards with ONLY 7 ATTEMPTS???? Like WHAT??
Ben Dova not in this video cuz this video about cj. Mjd will get his moment/video
Thats what im saying! Mojo was a fucking beast!
I miss the running backs from that era. Jones drew, Johnson, ray rice, Michael turner, rashad mendenhall , AD etc, some physical beasts
I’m a jags fan and the only reason we went to the games was for MJD
Ben Dova right 😂, seems like he won
bro he had a crazy 20 carries 220 but did y’all see jones-drew’s 7 for 179💀😴
right both with 2 td titans won the game idk if he beat mjd though
Thats what i was thinking too the jags could have literally just handed him the ball 7 or 8 more times and he probably would have broke the single game rushing record
@@bwatto3579 kinda bullshit they didnt give him more carries seems so obvious MJD was sick I love that guy
@@wildbat9098 not better than cj lmao
He got more yards but had more carries but ten won mjd went crazy tho
Jones-Drew only carried it 7 times when he had those 180 yards. That’s crazy.
Rob G, such an underrated back 5 foot 7 and players didn’t want any parts of MJD in his prime
Yeah im like if he got 20 carries he must have out ruched CJ by a lot of yards
Rob G dude was big and fast
Rob G that’s what I’m sayin’. Who really won that battle? Both were studs that day.
True!! 7 for 179 is 25.6ypc‼️ 20 for 220 is 11ypc. Both are off the charts, but I think Jones-Drew won the duel. If he had 13 more carries at that pace would’ve put him at 504 rushing yards for the game 🤯
Every 2,000 yard rusher deserves to be in the HOF
Fr. Crazy accomplishment
No.
Agree
@@rockedthecrapout Ohh Yeaaah!!
@@rockedthecrapout bro I don’t think u understand how hard it is to get 2000 yards as a skill position let alone just rushing
I'll never forget meeting chris. When he played at ECU ,my uncle was a WR on the team . We went to visit my uncle in college and he'd just gotten out of practice so we went to the practice field to meet up with him. As he's coming to meet us,chris was with him, my uncle points at me an goes "yea that's the one". Chris came up to me an said " Brian said you be dustin them boys at the park,you tryna run with us". I've never said no so fast in my life lmao. Really chill guy and definitely talented ,wish nothing but the best for him.
The Titans have had the most great backs! Earl Campbell, Eddie George, CJ2K & now King Henry. It’s just a tradition down in Tennessee! Titan Up baby!! #Greatness #Domination #TITANS
It doesn't feel like this happened ten years ago more like five to six, time flies...
I know man, we are getting old
I was in middle school
To me it seems like maybe 2-3 years ago. WTF. Man we really have to cherish, value and be thankful for this time we do have and spend all the time we can with our loved ones in this life, because it will be over before u can blink. I tell people all the time just slow down, slow down take a breath and I mean really cherish this life and love people man, spread love and positivity and try to make a change that will live on well past our short finite lil time that we are here. Shit is crazy bruh, it doesnt make sense man. God bless all of u and I hope u all live your best lives and really make a difference and do what u really feel like u were put here to do. Love and cherish every second of it for real for real. I know I said cherish a thousand times, but I mean it and would say it a million more times. Lmao!! Peace and love all y'all bruh.🙏✌🏽🤟🏽🙏
@@bobyrd4386 Good post bruh. Less than a month before a new decade. It's crazy. I feel like a good way to make time seem slower is to try new things, meet new people, and travel to new places. If you have the same routine everyday then shit goes by fast
Ok Boomer
I feel like Gus Johnson announced every Chris Johnson game “He’s got getting away from the cops speed!” “Nobody’s covering him! Nobody’s covering Chris Johnson!”

his running form is absolute perfection. incredible to watch him run
"I will score touchdowns for food" lol 😆 😂 🤣
Bruh CJ2k blazed af on the interview he talking like I do when that edible start too hit 😂
8:31 CJ's not even out of the backfield yet, but the announcer sees the hole in front of him, and says, "See ya'..."
That’s probably how every team felt especially as a Safety when you look up and see him going through a hole. They’re probably like damn... I can’t catch him
He knew
Lmao... Well he did say defenders would turn around and run assuming hes gnna be deep down field and step now
Robbed out of MVP that year
Didn't get it because they missed playoffs that year
yo! its Tony Tone! MVP award holds no importance anymore . Yeah , Manning had a good year in 2009, but Chris was MVP that year
Lol naw Peyton manning was the man
Ravens Nation id say drew brees should’ve won it
Should’ve been drew brees
I was at the game when he broke 2000 yards, it was so magical being a Titans fan surrounded by Seahawks.
Lifelong Tennessee Titans fan here! I got to go to the game here in Cincinnati that season; it was awesome! I still have a #28 Chris Johnson home Titans jersey and regularly wear it.
This guy was the real deal. He came to Arizona-past his prime and away from the league-where no running back can be successful, especially in that time, and he took on hits guys twice his size would flinch from. I’ve never seen a football player at that size attack contact like that and brush them off. This is why he could open up the field and use his speed, because he wasn’t afraid to get hit! Totally underestimated by his toughness! And he had great hands too! Perfect back for any era.
He really doesn’t look that fast on film . Like tyreek looks fast but CJ is so smooth . Cj2k was the truth
You smokin...tyreke doesn’t look as fast he looks like he’s working hard...Chris Johnson looks fake on film...jus look at everyone else
@@MrSPIDEY21 I’m pretty sure u saying what I’m saying my guy
@@MrSPIDEY21 but he’s not fake
tyreeks legs hit the ground faster thats why. id look fast because i could make my feet hit the ground but i wasnt moving too much faster than the long stride guys if at all.
He was good but people overrate him tbh like I can name 10 running backs in the past 20 years better than him
MJD is so underrated these days. Ppl just don’t remember
One of my favorite era of football. MJD, AP, CJ2K, Jamal Charles, and young Shady. Sheeeesh.
Dis dude is tooo Flaaawda 🤣🤣
That 4.24 40 time! Damn
I thought he ran 4.19 in the 40

Can't forget MJD as well
J Foxx, nah mjd is not ahead of cj
MJD too
Fred Taylor & Jimmy Smith u bum
That will forever be my favorite season from the titans, real titans fans didn’t even know what our record was that year, but every week we all we’re at the edge of our seats every game because Vince young and cj2k
Imagine Eddie George Chris Johnson and KING HENRY on the same team at there PRIME!!! SHESSH!!!!
This channel is absolute gold.
I feel like people forget about him and I dont know why
FPS Konkey he played for the Titans that’s why
Because he's the same age as Adrian Peterson (actually 6 months younger) but hasn't been a star since 2012, hasn't been productive 2015, and retired since 2017. Peterson is still playing. Gore is 2 years older and still playing. People have forgotten about Jamaal Charles, Maurice Jones-Drew, Arian Foster, DeMarco Murray, Matt Forte, and DeAngelo Williams too for the same reason. Longevity is a big deal. That's why AD and Gore are so special.
@@realniggashit3 all very good points
He was actually doing pretty good on the cardinals until he got injured, he was one of the rushing leaders
America First Productions Ray Rice is only known for hitting his girl. but he was up there with all those guys a couple seasons too
What a great era for RBs. Prime MJD, AP and CJ2K going crazy
I remember when I started getting into college FB and randomely watched him play by accident...... I was so glad he made it to the NFL after watching him being so fast!
The fact he did it in basically 11 games is whats crazy. Imagine if he has those stats through the first 6? Thats a GG

Are we just gonna ignore HOW GOOD Maurice Jones Drew was?
Yes we very much are this video is about Johnson
I remember Chris when he played at ECU, he was a beast.
One of my favourite players of all time. Loved what he did

Jeff Fisher - whichever team had the most rushing yards won these games fellas.... break !
Nuff said i guess lol
And known to hold QBs back. Steve McNair could've been better if he had a coach that would've developed him as passer along with VY.
Sums up his coaching career. He totally ruined Vince young
As a long time Titans fan CJ2K will always have my love and respect and it was a blast watching him turn into a fireball across the field.
MJD with that seven rushes for 179 yards is insane. That was such a great game to watch these two go at it and m I am a die hard Saints fan too.
They designed the modern zone-block scheme around this guy because of his speed and cut-back ability.
Dell Jr whoever that female is on your pfp got the fatty
By far my favorite Titan. I name my fantasy teams "DJ2K" because of him.
How's your fantasy going?
CJ2K aewsomeness! It's incredible how fast he looks on TV and how the camera zips through it hearing the crowd roar evermore louder.
7:24 Mjd 7 rush 179 yd 2 TD God daam
rue the god that’s madden rookie mode numbers
rue the god mjd underrated af
Lol MJD was a problem then too.
If they would’ve given him the ball 13 more time he would’ve had way more yards probably at least 250+
He had 159 yards & 2 TDs on his first 2 carries.
When this guy played he was on
8:32 dude said see ya and CJ wasn’t even out of the backfield yet 😂
Lmao
Chris Johnson Man was a BEAST on the field 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Respect!
CJ2K!!! He transformed your life, he transformed my life
This year was epic. Chris and Vince was an amazing combo
I remember that game , I was like plz dnt let this man score! He can have his record but please dnt lose the game.chris Johnson made history in seattle, ironically Chris Carson reminds me so much of him it's crazy.

Yeah but the analyst dont like putting big runs in the conversation
One of my fav players all time‼️
lol Seatte always giving up a rushing milestone, Emmitt Smith and Chris Johnson.
@San Trez Adrian Peterson rushed for 182 yards with 17 carries on them that year he rushed for 2000, lol that helped.
8:32 😂😂😂 he was a solid 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage and the announcer was just like “see ya”
when guys like AD, Barry sanders, Chris johnson, and reggie bush chooses a hole with 0 defenders in it. almost always a TD. especially CJ2k and AD
Carolina boy baby!!! Let’s goooo!! Much love from Greenville SC. #legend
“I always prided myself in never getting caught”-CJ2K. Well spoiler, he got caught .

favorite RB of all time ... wish Dallas woulda signed him when they had the chance 🤦🏽♂️
Chris Johnson and Ricky Williams my 2 favorite runningbacks.
We're appreciative CJ❗
His ECU Highlights are just as phenomenal as his NFL Highlights!
CJ2K runs so quicklay I’ll see myself out.
Whoever had this guy in fantasy football that year was loving life
I remember my dad had him. He won the whole thing. lol
Top 3 fav rb period! His break away speed at his peek was a different level he was just gliding
He was fast but no where near the fastest.
I'll never forget my boy Polamalu making that epic tackle on CJ near the goal line, I was in my dorm freshman year of college, had the game on the projector on our floor and everyone lost their minds because we all know how great CJ is
