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.

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.

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 🥲

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.

He is #7 of 8 players who had 2000 yds in a season. The player behind him is OJ who did it first and in only 14 games.

One my favorite players, I swear.

I really enjoyed watching him during his college days at East Carolina.

CJ2K is the most fun player to watch ever in my opinion!

Wish we had Chris back again. Chris Johnson and Derrick Henry would've been a nice combination

The footwork he had was insane those first 3 years nobody could touch him

My favorite running back of all time. What it so bad it doesn't even look like he is running that fast. That's how smooth he is.

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.

Titian’s can always draft great running backs

Let’s gooooo! Favorite RB!

I don't wanna get too far ahead of myself here, but... Jahmyr Gibbs is doing a damn good CJ2K impression. We'll see what year 2 looks like.

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.

I've never seen someone find the seam and explode through a hole like that before. Jesus.

CJ2K!! Was like watching a video game out there, Titans also did a great job blocking!

This guy was fast and can be tough to stop if you don’t get him

that combo with him and lendale white, thunder and lightning was amazing to watch ... wish it lasted longer

He's a sure legend

Nobody ever talks about him, Priest, Robert Smith etc

16:01 that's amazing play all the way around. None selfish. Hardworking. Rewarded.

Man he was next level

Best tackle breaker ever and best at angle burning. Amazing. Definite Hall of Famer. First ballot

Fav RB all time

Randy Moss and Chris Johnson are the fastest players in the NFL ever with or without equipment on. They had a burst that couldn't be registered

he is one of the best

Rookie year he was a Beast !!!

Won me a fantasy ring in 09. He was a god for about 3 years

Amazin

You cannot give Chris Johnson an inch, especially 2009 Chris Johnson. His first 4-5 years in the league, grossly underrated at the position.

Chris johnson, Maurice jones-drew and AP were my childhood idols man. I still don't think anyone has been as fast on the field as CJ2k since not even cheetah

I think it’s cool how he evolved. in the beginning he mostly just ran past people, but as he got slower he had to use more finesse

Playing with him on madden on the psp was the best

He was absolutely awesome, and to think at 31, after getting shot he managed to run for 900 yards and was a pro bowl alternate

“HE’S GOT “GETTIN’ AWAY FROM THE COPS” SPEED!”

Awesome

4:05 the speed change is tight hes like waiting waiting then bam haha

Chris Johnson looked so cool doing it too.
