Chris Johnson is a Titan



He went right after my very own Steelers took a running back, which stings a little, but I'm happy the Pirates had someone go in the first round. ESPN took a dim viw of the pick, but what the hell do they know? That idiotic crew led by Mel Kiper is better at picking boogers than NFL players:
This is a reach in our opinion. At 197 pounds, there are concerns about Johnson's ability to take the kind of pounding NFL running backs endure. He's also not great between the tackles and has had fumble issues. His biggest strengths are his speed and versatility; Johnson can line up in the backfield or motion out to the slot. His rare speed (4.24) makes him a home run threat regardless of where he lines up. Johnson can also make an impact in the kickoff return game.
ESPN has just set itself up for failure yet again. Dude is gonna be good.

Thought you guys should know that in Chris Johnson's first (preseason, even!) game with the Titans, he had a 66-yard run for a touchdown. Suck it, ESPN.
