Titans RB Chris Johnson Compares Himself To LeBron James

Found June 23, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chris Johnson,  LeBron James,  Jim Rome
TEAMS: Tennessee Titans,  Miami Heat

Titans running back Chris Johnson slogged through an inconsistent 2011 season after signing a $53.5 million deal. After watching LeBron James win his first NBA championship, Johnson says he is motivated to prove critics were too quick to write him off as an elite running back. “I feel just like LeBron — a lot of people are going to be back on the bandwagon,” Johnson told talk show host Jim Rome. “He had a lot of haters out there, a lot of people saying he wasn’t good and things like that and just to see how he overcame that and came back this year and won the championship, it shows his hard work and dedication.” Johnson envisions another 2,000-yard rushing season as vindication. That, and a trip to the Super Bowl.
