East Carolina representing in Round 1 of the NFL Draft

With the 24th pick of the draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Chris Johnson of East Carolina!

I think this surprised the shit out of everybody! As an East Carolina alumni, I knew he was great, but the rest of the country is probably like, WTF?....Who is Chris Johnson? *He did run a 4.25 at the combine, the fastest of anyone.

At 197 pounds, there are concerns about Johnson's ability to take the kind of pounding NFL running backs endure. He's also not a great between the tackles and has had fumble issues. His biggest strengths are his speed and versatility; Johnson can line up in the backfield or motion out to the slot. His rare speed (4.24) makes him a home run threat regardless of where he lines up. Johnson can also make an impact in the kickoff return game.

I don't follow the Titans and not a big fan of anything SEC country, but good luck Chris!
