Running Back Rank: #8
Overall: #8
Johnson emerged as the Titans primary ball carrier his rookie season. And he didn't disappoint, showing his big-play potential almost every game. He had four 100-yard games and averaged an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. He also caught 43 passes, showing great potential as a receiver. As you can see, Johnson is the real deal. He has blazing speed and great moves. He isn't the biggest back in the world, though, which could limit him on short-yardage work.

He'll lose some goal-line carries to LenDale White, but you have to love his total yardage potential his second season in the league. Johnson can get 1,600 or so total yards and around double-digit scores, making him a guy to target late in the first round or early second round. |

| ESPN.com reports representatives for Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson and Olympic champion Usain Bolt of Jamaica have spent recent days trying to set up a race between the two men to determine who really is the world's fastest human, sources close to the situation told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The race would be used to raise money for charity. According to sources, the one hangup seems to be the length of the race. Johnson wants the race to be 60 yards or less, while Bolt would like it to be longer. |
| Fantasy Impact: Bolt would likely kill Johnson in a race but it would be fun to watch. |
