Johnson unanimous for All-Pro

GameSetMatch — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:26:57 +0000

Chris Johnson didn’t get any votes for MVP. He didn’t miss any for The Associated Press 2009 NFL All-Pro team.

The 2,000-yard rusher from the Tennessee Titans was the only unanimous choice for the squad, which was announced Thursday. He’s joined in the backfield by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who won an unprecedented fourth Most Valuable Player Award last week, when only quarterbacks received votes.

“That’d be a good thing,” said Johnson, who won the Offensive Player of the Year award Wednesday. “Because I feel like if you put a season out there, out of those dudes who got votes or the dudes who won, I wouldn’t feel they had a better season than I had, and broke as many records in one season that I had.”

That blur speeding away from opposing defenses and running off with The Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award is Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson.

Considered the fastest man in pro football, Johnson was uncatchable in setting a league mark for yards from scrimmage (2,509) and becoming the sixth player with a 2,000-yard rushing season.

He is the first NFL player to finish with at least 2,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving (503).

That earned the second-year pro 38½ votes Wednesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters who cover the NFL. Johnson easily beat New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, who received nine votes.

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher warned the 49ers that Chris Johnson’s speed could not be replicated in practice

One day after the second-year pro rushed for a franchise-record 228 yards against the Jaguars, Fisher relayed a story about a unique method one team employed to prepare for Hall of Famer Barry Sanders’ speed, quickness and ability to change direction in a split second.

“Teams tried to do all kinds of things,” Fisher said. “I remember one team in particular brought a chicken out on the field and let the defense chase the chicken around, desperately trying to simulate the type of speed and quickness.”
