Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson was massively disrespected by the NFL Network on Tuesday.
The Good Morning Footballcrew had a three-round "draft" of the fastest NFL players of all time and no one on the panel (made up of Rachel Bonnette, DeAngelo Hall, Adam Rank, and Peter Schrager) selected Johnson.
Here are the results of their draft.
I mean, that's laughable to not include Johnson on that list.
The former East Carolina star ran a 4.24 in the 40-yard dash at the 2008 NFL Draft scouting combine. At the time, Johson's 4.24 time was a combine record.
NFL Network's panel selected some fast players, but most of them weren't as fast as Johnson. Jonathan Taylor, for example, ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash. Raheem Mostert ran a 4.32.
And the thing about Johnson is that he wasn't just fast in a combine setting, he had incredible on-field speed, too.
Maybe the panel forgot Johnson existed. I have no idea. But leaving him out of that exercise is disrespectful to one of the fastest players to ever step onto a football field.
This is just another example of the Titans getting ignored on the national level. I don't know what it will take for the franchise to get the same attention as other franchises. I'm not even sure a Super Bowl win would do it at this point.
