Fastest running back in the draft. He's a talented football player. As far as need goes... well, they probably should have gone wideout.

yeah ive been reading up about him and, ok he is a speed guy, but out of all the needs we had on the offense (a speed RB being one of them) was it worth using our first round pick on him?

No, he was a reach. They could've traded down and still got him. They should have gone wideout.

We needed a wr but dude is fast as hell..

[alex83]

DAMN HE IS FAST!!....ok well maybe we don't need any receivers anymore...just give him the ball the first 2 downs...LenDale can punch it in on short downs and give it to Scaife and Crumpler when we need to throw...ok we are sorted...Super Bowl here we come

[alex83]

the more i watch him the more i worry about ONE factor...his strength...he can run past a guy like a bullet, but as soon as he comes up against someone he doesn't have the kind of push to keep goin past them which worries me a little

Totally...I think he clocked either a 4.22 or 4.24 didn't he? Still wrong player for the wrong team.

I think this pick will really work out for the titans. They have a power guy(Lendale) that can break tackles and now they have their change of pace burner that will explode past tired defenders that have been bruised by Lendale all afternoon. Chris Johnson can also run some nice slot routes and has wr type hands. He will also help on special teams in the return game. I think the titans got the best all around player that was around at that pick. They better go heavy on WR tmrw though

the guy runs a 4.24 and ran great considering he played for a college team that aint so great.im happy the titans picked him and i think we can really improve alot cus of him.but as far as not getting a wr ithe 2nd round confuses me.sweed was drafted right before the titans pick and the titans should have tried to trade the steelers something for that pick.

This guy has crazy sick speed and acceleration... It's scary to think of him on the field the same time as Vince Young. ...You just can't afford NOT to pay attention to him... which means some attention comes off of Young. I'm not a Titans fan... but to me this pick adds a whole new dimension to this offense. He brings so much more versatility to the table than the other running backs. I was wondering what team would get this guy. I wish the Colts got him.

[titans#1]

if this guy can learn to return kicks he would be scary good at them with his speed and agility all he needs is a few blocks and he's gone.
