In real life and on video games, apparently.
Here's a link to his 66-yard TD run against the Rams.
And if you're a Madden fan, expect him to be unstoppable on your Xbox or PlayStation, too. Here's what another Web site has to say about his impact on the virtual football field:
There are few players that are more dynamic than Vince Young. One of the many problems Young has had since joining the Titans is his lack of supporting cast. In Madden 08 the Titans felt like the Atlanta Falcons of 2005 without Warrick Dunn. While the Titans have always had a platoon backfield, no one player was ever impactful in Madden, which makes the Titans very one dimensional, especially considering the two-dimensional Young under center.
In every draft there are many players like Chris Long and Glen Dorsey whose impact will be felt more on Sunday than in Madden. However, there are a select few whose impact may be greater in the virtual world than in the NFL.
Not to take away from Chris Johnson's ability at the NFL level, but he is absolutely the type of player gamers will love to use in Madden. Johnson has been timed at 4.24 in the 40, giving him almost unmatched speed! Johnson also has switched between running back and slot receiver at times, giving him the best set of hands out of the backfield of any back in the draft. Gamers will find opportunities for Johnson at running back, wide receiver, and in the return game, as his speed will make him a widely utilized player. Look for the combination of Young's scrambling ability and Johnson's speed to make the Titans even more popular in Madden NFL 09, and a lethal combination in Madden circles.
Impact Rating: 10/10
ESPN, you suck.
