Titan's running back Chris Johnson 2009 record breaking season was no fluke by any stretch of the imagination, nor did his ground breaking efforts go without notice from the NFL - regarding his stellar performance as a very special one indeed. When Chris Johnson entered the NFL in 2008 one of his goals was to become one of the best running backs in the league. One of the more entertaining aspects concerning if Chris Johnson can repeat what he did in 2009 - may not be as far-fetched as one would think. There has not been much talk or hoopla about what type of training program that Chris Johnson has been participating in during the off-season, but there is one thing for sure, whatever type of conditioning program he has been engaged in will lead to a very interesting 2010 season.

Chris Johnson is one of those rare running backs that have elite speed and also runs with deceptive power - which places him above most of the running backs in the NFL concerning his ability to break away from would be tacklers.

When Chris Johnson came into the league in 2008 he was judged by many as being too small and not having enough of bulk to be an every down back. Chris Johnson has not been the first NFL running back to be placed in this category, and this was without a doubt the motivating factor that inspired him to have a record breaking season in 2009.

In 2008 Chris Johnson played a total of 15 games, but in 2009 he played all 16 games, and he did not miss a beat by setting an NFL record by achieving a 2509 yards from scrimmage - a feat that he wants to break in 2010.

Fantasy football fanatics who have placed Chris Johnson as their top pick in 2010 are giddy with anticipation to see if he can achieve the unthinkable - by having another 2000 yard season. In my personal opinion and assessment of Chris Johnson's talent and skill level as a fantasy running back pick - I feel that he will have another 2000 yard season in 2010.
