Player Notes

May 6, 2008
Running back Chris Johnson, the Tennessee Titans first-round pick, showed off his speed during the team's rookie orientation, while the coaching staff began experimenting on different ways they can use him, according to the Sporting News. The Titans envision Johnson lining up in the slot and catching plenty of balls, but he also will line up wide and in the backfield. Johnson has blazing speed -- he clocked at 4.24 in the 40-yard dash -- and the team will look to get him involved in the running game, but think he will be especially dangerous catching the ball on screens or in the flat on short passes. Johnson is not only fast, but he also is quick and very elusive in avoiding would-be tacklers. The fact that Tennessee selected Johnson in the first round indicates they are not happy with Chris Henry as the primary backup to LenDale White.

The Titans used their first round selection on running back Chris Johnson, the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Tennessee loves their first round tailbacks. The Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year, Johnson is reportedly the fastest player in the draft.

The Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos are interested in running back Chris Johnson, according to ESPN. Johnson, who is 5-11 and 199 pounds, ran a blistering 4.24 during his combine workout turning a lot of heads in the process. Johnsons elite speed could earn him a spot in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft.
