Christopher Duan Johnson (born September 23, 1985) is an American former professional football running back. Born in Orlando, Florida, he emerged as a senior for East Carolina University, breaking out for 2,960 all-purpose yards and 24 touchdowns. Johnson was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft, after running a then-record breaking 4.24 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.^[1]

Johnson was a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first three years in the league. In 2009, Johnson won the NFL rushing title with 2,006 yards, becoming the sixth of only eight players ever to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, and breaking Marshall Faulk's record of total yards from scrimmage with 2,509.^[2] This earned Johnson the nickname CJ2K and won him the 2009 Offensive Player of the Year Award. Johnson ran for more than 1,000 yards in each of his six seasons with the Titans. Johnson later played one season for the New York Jets followed by another three with the Arizona Cardinals, with whom he enjoyed a brief, injury-shortened resurgence in 2015. He retired in 2017 after signing a one-day contract with the Tennessee Titans.
