CJ2K, who could score from anywhere
Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 forty at the 2008 Combine, foreshadowing the breakaway speed that defined him, a home-run threat Tennessee took to give its offense a jolt.
Madden climbed him from a 77 to a 99 by the 2011 edition, carrying a 99 speed rating for five straight releases. The reason was 2009, a 2,006-yard season, one of only a handful ever, that set a scrimmage-yardage record and won Offensive Player of the Year, earning the nickname CJ2K. Three straight Pro Bowls and more than 9,000 rushing yards later, in 2026 he revealed an ALS diagnosis, a sobering turn for a player whose whole game was speed.
