Comments on: Chris Johnson says he could run the 40 in under four seconds on a track http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/04/chris-johnson-says-he-could-run-the-40-in-under-four-seconds-on-a-track/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Mon, 20 May 2013 01:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: whealy86 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/04/chris-johnson-says-he-could-run-the-40-in-under-four-seconds-on-a-track/#comment-1975777 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 23:51:13 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1197599#comment-1975777 I’m a Titans fan and a Chris Johnson fan, and although I agree with you guys that he should shut his mouth the guy be doing a lot worse. Like a poster earlier said he does charity, never gets in trouble and never throws his team under the bus. Yea he had a down year last year mostly cause of the hold out, he still has put up 1000 yards a year since he’s played in the nfl, he has never been hurt other then the Baltimore playoff game his rookie year, where they purposely hurt him. He’s durable , a team player and he is fast as heck. Does that mean he could actually run a fourt under four, who cares we will never no. I’m just saying this guy is for real and will be for years to come, if you look at all the other backs in this league rice and Peterson are the only consistent backs for the last 3-4 years, along with cj. McCoy and foster have been great but takes more then two good years to be called a sure thing. Rice is the best back in the nfl all around, then in my mind it’s cj. Peterson(due to health concerns). Foster , McCoy more potential then all but will see.

I actually watch sports, I don’t need help formulating my opinion. Not saying he could actually pull off the sub 4, but I think he beats Bolt in a shorter distance just bc I know how both guys run. Bolt would kill him in the 100 of course. Bolt’s bad starts are legendary. Johnson is the start king…..lololol at that dude about the Wikipedia thing, makes me feel good. couch potato need not apply talking to me.

CJ just started a new charity a few weeks ago. He’s done many in the past. The one this year donates money to underprivileged kids for every yard he runs. He does some good things too but what kind of story would it be if they posted about something positive he’s doing.

This guy just needs to shut up. I was once a fan of his but after his snide comments during his holdout i really can’t stand the guy and now all this BS. Shut up Chris. Just shut up. No one cares.

Nobody cares about your fantasies. You should pick up a worthwhile book and read, maybe start a new charity or perhaps, go help a neighbor with a household project. Go recycle. But please for the sake of humanity, get off the computer, quit talking about stupid things and mostly yourself. Years gone by, this was called BORING, ya know, being a bore.

Last time I checked he was a running back in the NFL.

Gotta keep chirping with his mouth since he can’t back anything up on the field.

He’s not elusive, doesn’t break tackles, doesn’t catch anything other than a swing pass. All i can say is enjoy it while it lasts Chris you’ve got maybe 2 years left of just going out there and running faster than everyone, because that trait doesn’t have a long shelf life at your position.

Man there are a lot of clowns in this world – and they all reside on this board. First of all he ran a 4.24 on grass on from a kneel down position. If he’s on a track with starting blocks and spikes that could easily enhance his time. You clowns don’t even know that Chris Johnson was one of the top track athletes in the NCAA before concentrating on football. CJ Spiller, Jacoby Ford, Jeff Demps, Tridon Holliday and Jamaal Charles were all star track guys. I’ve seen them run all throughout the NCAA track circuit. Guess what….NONE of them were even close to Chris Johnsons 40 time. 4.27 by Ford is decently close but not really by track standards…As far as Usain, he is a horrible starter and is ALWAYS losing the first 50 meters bc of his long legs. Chris Johnson is quick out of the blocks he’s top speed in about 8-9 steps. Why don’t you cats actually research or know.something before you comment…And lol at the guy who said Taylor Mays ran a 4.24 – it was officially in the 4.3′s. Johnson is the fastest guy since the comebine began electronically timing…..notice everything I said was fact and not a biased opinion? google it

—————-

None of your drivel means he can run a sub 4 second 40 on a track, which is what he claimed. The point of this comment board is to post your opinion. Anyone can cut and paste from Wikipedia.

I understand track fine and he is not running a 4 flat if his combine time was 4.24. Let me ask you this…why doesn’t big talker bring a crew to a track and show us? That’s what Bolt does. He should put up or shut up.
