Titans running back Chris Johnson, who'd run the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.24 seconds at the NFL scouting combine, was derided by numerous experts as a "reach" after Tennessee chose him with the 24th overall pick. By season's end he had blossomed into a bona fide feature back, and before getting hurt against the Ravens he evoked images of a young LaDainian Tomlinson. "He was that good – we were seeing it happen," Titans fullback Ahmard Hall(notes) says of Johnson's playoff performance. "He's still got a lot to learn in terms of where to go and how to protect, but once he figures it out and the game starts slowing down for him, he's going to be one of the best that's ever played the game." If that sounds like hyperbole, don't expect Johnson to provide a reality check. "I'm trying to be The Man," he says excitedly. "If a player doesn't think that way, he's not being truthful. I don't think anybody wants to go down in history [only] as, 'I was a great team player.' I'm a team player and I want to get to the Super Bowl. But when all is said and done, I want to be in the Hall of Fame." Source: Yahoo.com
:icon_rolleyes: Sounds like one takes a little more precedence over the other...it's all about the money and if he's putting up Hall of Fame numbers, he's getting paid...heck with winning.
Well, Chris Johnson was off to a good start at getting into the hall of fame, thats for sure. Now he just needs to continue this his entire career.
What's wrong with saying he 'wants' to be in the hall of fame? I would think every player would want to be there.
