Re-Drafting the Running Backs From the 2008 NFL Draft Using Advanced Analytics
2. Chris Johnson
CarAV: 71
After blazing a trail at the NFL combine, Chris Johnson made a mark on the league early on in his career. In his first three seasons, the back who became known as "CJ2K" put up an AV of at least 11 with more than 1,200 yards and 10 total scores in each.
Johnson's big breakout was when he rushed for 2,006 yards in his sophomore season. His AV reached 19 as he rushed for 14 touchdowns, adding 500 yards and 2 more touchdowns in the passing game.
Since then, Johnson has had 1,000 yards in four of seven seasons and has declined into a supporting role since leaving the Tennessee Titans in 2014.
Nonetheless, he's a one-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler performer.
