Recognized as one of only nine players in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season, Chris Johnson was named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2009. That record-breaking year, Johnson led the NFL with 2,006 rushing yards for the Tennessee Titans and set an all-time NFL record with 2,509 total yards from scrimmage, surpassing Marshall Faulks previous mark. Drafted by the Titans in the first round as the 24th overall pick in 2008, Johnson made an immediate impact, rushing for 1,228 yards and nine touchdowns in his rookie season, earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He went on to secure three consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 2008 to 2010 and was recognized as the leagues highest-paid running back in 2011, maintaining a consistent record of over 1,000 rushing yards in each of his six seasons with the team.
