Incoming casuals commenting “he only had one good season” all 1k season in tenesse plus a great 1 year stint with the cards. HAVE A CAREER CJ2k love you brother.
It always amazes me how it never looks like CJ was trying. He was outrunning every other player in the league, juking and changing direction like nobody else, and it looks like he was just out for a Sunday stroll in the park
lol. Exact same with me. I'll be the first to admit theres many better running backs but he's still my favorite.I actually bought both a Charles jersey shirt and I got an actual Chris Johnson jersey this week.
@@KJ3. oh I was just talking about past players, but Henry it's way too early to say him but he will end up being the best if he's nit dealing with injuries
I am a die hard Saints fan, but also a football fan. CJ was freaking electric. I’d take his 2008-2010 years over any RB at the time. His quickness and acceleration was on a different level. Plus he could break tackles. He needs to be in the HOF.
Dat boi had dat pure Florida speed🔥🔥🔥. One of the fastest players to ever reach the NFL. Once he got in front of you it was no catching him. Only real ones know how unstoppable bruh was back in the day on the old Maddens in his prime💯.
@@rayhankazianga6817 The 40 doesn't measure how fast the fastest players can run. It only measures quickness and partial acceleration because the fastest players do not reach top speed til about 50m out. They are still accelerating at the 40 yd mark. So the 40 cannot possibly determine who is the fastest when they aren't even running their fastest. And 4.24 is officially tied for the second quickest 40 with Rondell Menendez. Trindon Holliday's 4.21 is not official.
@@sydboski A baylor player ran an official 4.23 in the 2022 combine. I'd also say that acceleration and quickness is more important in football than raw speed.
@@rayhankazianga6817 Ok Kalon Barnes did run 4.23. So CJ is tied for 3rd quickest since 1999. Who says this is about playing football? The man said he was one of the "fastest" players to reach the NFL. There is no indication he was referring to ppl laying football.
I like Chris Johnson, he's my Favorite Running Back. When I become a American Football player, I will be Running Back. You looking at the next Chris Johnson 2.0.
That’s right it’s always good to emulate the greats ….. that’s how you stay humble and A student! Never become bigger than your influences! Stay a student it will get you further in life!
what a time to be alive. me being a die hard vikings fan, my brother being a die hard titans fan. we both got to see 2 of the best running backs the game has ever seen. AD x CJ2k
It’s funny because when he was a commentator during the time people couldn’t stand Gus’ commentary. It was always viewed as over the top. I thought it was perfect
When he would get out in open space he almost made it seem like the field was bigger than it actually was. He was gliding and the defenders couldn't commit to any one direction because he was so fluid he could easily change direction without losing any momentum.
Most definitely a NFL legend one of the greatest to do it From scrimmage 2,000 yards plus. He with the Marshall Faulk, Barry sanders, Terrell Davis. He is number 6 on that list no one has been after him yet.
I remember watching Chris Johnson playing he had that get away from the cop speed and he was so fun to use on madden 12 one of my favorite player to watch good old days 🥲
I always hated when people only talked about his speed. I believe a lot of his other skills went overlooked because everyone focused on his pure speed. He was a very good all-around RB. The speed was just icing on the cake. He would've been a starting NFL RB with 4.45 speed.
6:03 bro ran so fast he made Scott Starks (number 31) cramp trying to catch him. Scott Starks ran a 4.37 and CJ made him look like he was standing still. What a special player.
Autodrafted CJ2k in 2009, round 12 or whatever, waived him b4 season started bcuz i didn't kno who he was. The next year autodrafted Arian Foster also in round 12, he then ran for 2k yards and i also waived him b4 season started.
I don’t totally disagree, but the NFL today has such a focus on speed on defense. You need blown assignments to have these long runs because the speed linebackers, corners and safeties play at now the blocking doesn’t have a chance to develop downfield.
@@cusefan5510 exactly the nfl wasn’t designed for a back of cjs magnitude back then but dbs are the fastest players on the field today cj changed the game which is why he wouldn’t do good today that’s why there no scat backs like him anymore
@@d2cardboardnovice169 exactly. Look at the linebackers in the video. They’re slow, they were meant to come down hill and stop the run, they also didn’t need the coverage skills LBs need today. It’s why Johnson and Jamal Charles light the league on fire. They were just faster, and it reflected a ton in how drafting defensive changed after this. Speed became everything.
For being 200 pounds the amount of touches he got in a two year stretch 2009/2010 was unbelievable. So much wear and tear it was inevitable he would slow down a little
3:25 ed reed BARELY makes the tackle to prevent the TD. Next full play troy palamalu takes the perfect angle to BARELY save the TD. That's so sick, 2 HOF safeties struggling to get their hands on CJ2K
If you’re too young to know or remember who Eric Metcalf is, you missed out on one of the all time, all around greats with the ball in his hands. He might even be the greatest all purpose yards guy… Go check out his career highlights…
