I made my social handles inspired by his nickname😭
I know you specialize in the “what happened to?” Vids. When AP finally retires, please do one on him!
Can we talk about how only two people have lead the league in yards twice in the this decade Adrian Peterson and Ezekiel Elliott and I'm pretty sure zeke has the most yards per game stat in the decade yes I know he has only played for 4 years but that is amazing he did what Adrian Peterson did in 10 but in 3 years is Zeke being slept on or am I going crazy
Hey FlemLo, do what happened to Ray Rice. That would be a interesting video
AP had 5,727 yds through 4yrs, Zeke 5,405. Really great, but no AP. Also, AP set the single season rushing record (which still stands) his rookie year. Zeke has had one of the best O-lines ever for the majority of his career. There will be a Zeke vid one day hopefully
The lengths that this man goes to. Who else would look that far into the neck twitching? He went into first hand sources didn't find anything, so he went to comment sections, and found people telling the same story. And _then_ went to WebMD just to make sure it checked out.
Who does that? Serious dedication. Keep up the good work.
It’s because he cares bro
He might be part Indian. Those cats are like real life bobblehead dolls. Go watch videos of life in India.
Razh 80 yeah I’m just gonna take your word for it there. I’m no expert but I figured it was like little zaps. Like zingers? I think that’s what it is? And causes pain whenever it feels like. I think that’s probably the closest thing to what you guys have
flemlo really taught us the effects of nerve damage, this research is what makes his videos so good
Flemlo the truth
Met CJ at a gas station in FL some years ago! Cooo dude! Even spoke to my family! Good dude from central Florida.
I met him too. I used to valet at Lenox mall in Atlanta and he was in town. I’m from Orlando and I told him how we played against him in high school and he laughed and started talking trash how he beat us but it was all in good fun.. super cool cat!
I can still hear Gus Johnson say” Uh Oh watch out he’s got get away from the cop speed”
Lmao 😂😂🤣🤣
Dude wouldve been hella fired if he said that in 2020 lol
That’s hilarious that’s a different type of speed
And to think he didn't even look like he was giving much effort... dude was one of the smoothest runners I've ever seen
Scott lol right bro if somebody said that today there commentator career would be absolutely over lol
As a Titans fan who watched CJ his entire career it was absolutely amazing to hold your breath literally EVERY TIME he touched the ball with the possibility of breaking one.
Maaan it was CRAZY dude used to bounce off everybody!
One of my favorite running backs ever he was Alvin kamara but faster ... like wayyy faster CJ2k
Except Kamara can truck people & is a much better receiver but the running style is similar yeah
Running style maybe but Kamara is a way better receiver and runs with a more balanced style between elusiveness and power with balance playing a huge part of it.
I always felt like that's why I liked Kamara so much, because CJ was my favorite running back
Alvin doesn’t truck people tf😂 He Bounces off tackles if that’s what you mean.
They're not even the same archetype of running back.
His downfall at Tennessee all had to do with Kevin Mawae being forced to retire after the 2009 season. Because he was the president of the NFL Players Association. He and Ahmad Hall contributed alot to how good the running game was at Tennessee. Eugene Amano who is a guard, was converted to a center where he did absolutely horrible at. The fact that Johnson was even able to get 1300 yards , better yet 1k til 2013 says how special he was. That O line was absolutely atrocious. He was also robbed of breaking Dickerson's record , Johnson ran for a 60+ yard TD during the 3rd quarter that was called back for a foul that never took place. If that counted. He would have beaten Dickerson's record quite easily as the titans would have been ahead comfortably in the 4th.
Never thought I’d see one of my favorite boxing you tubers on my favorite football channel. Small world.
Jeff Fisher did everything he could to ruin his career just like he did Vince Young and Goff. The fact that he ran for that many yards with Jeff "8-8" Fisher as his coach should give him an automatic HOF consideration period.
I remember that against the Seahawks
Only certain players are allowed if you get me . NFL is highly controlled
@@michaeltaylors2456 tell me more... please
Now Derrick Henry has over 2000 yards in a season too.
Different
Cj did it mostly in big increments, most of Derrick Henry’s carries were 3/4 yards. Equally impressive I think a defense is probably more scared of Derrick Henry than Chris Johnson but thats not knock on cj2k
Something in that water in Tennessee 😂
@@ghettomechanicllc3070 Imagine those two suiting up together in their primes. Talk about smash and dash
@@NikolaJokerMVP15 I know, hes on my fantasy team. Took him forst overall. 😭😭😭
It's crazy when you say his explosiveness declined because he was at such a high athletic level his decline was still better than alot of backs in their prime in terms of speed
Love these short docuseries. My request is Plexico Burress man.
If he hadn’t had that accident in New York we’d have a totally different convo about him.
Chris Johnson and Devin Hester was my whole childhood 💪🏾✊🏾
Fla boys
Facts
Yup you must be in your very late 20s or early 30s then
Ted gin jr too
Yessir 💪🏾🔥 miss them days bro
He needs more hall of fame consideration. His TD runs were historic.
He would've broke the single season rushing record if it weren't for the immortal Ed Hochuli.
Honestly yes. I think the only thing holding him truly back is the fact he isn't in the 10k (career rushing yards) club but when you look at earl campbell, Chris johnson deserve to be in the hall
@@rockstar34960 yeah that's a good point that I've also thought about, but man, considering how long his scrimmage yards record stood, his amazing touchdown runs, 2,000 yard season, and the fact that he played for a bad franchise all should account for stronger consideration.
@@christenn32 it really should be, I think the man is a hof but I just done see him making it in
@@rockstar34960 yeah I agree with you on that. Titans ain't got enough credibility to get a borderline player in.
I remember how explosive he was that 2000 yard season was legendary probably a top 7 rushing season ever
It felt like everytime ESPN came on they were showing him out running defenders lol
Its the best rushing season ever. Only one even close is LT with 32 tds
@@O6MustangGT they hate to see it bro and im hispanic. Chris Johnson was the fastest man you ever seen on the field.
Great way to give him his flowers while he still here ! Love it
This man was popularized the term “Dreadhead speed”
A commentator said he had “running from cops speed” lmao
༼D347h210P5༽ ཾ one of my favorite calls tbh, I remember they would use that line in madden too !

Yoo I actually watched the Ad. This dude has the gift because I hate ads. He’s definitely doing what he supposed to! Salute Brotha ✊🏾 Respect
I know you specialize in the “what happened to vids,” and AP is a HOF player. But When AP finally retires, please do one on him!
Definitely ‼️🤟🏾
Everyone already knows what happened with AP: he's been one of the best RBs of all time for over a decade...that'd be like making a video titled "Whatever Happened to Emmitt Smith?" lol.
I’d like a “what Happened when AP got the ball” video instead of that lol
AP is great there's no point everybody already know what happens to AP...
You're AP
I remember in his prime defensive cords put in game plans to stop him. He still ran thru defensive schemes and had a career to be proud of. Great job Flem this was a awesome piece. Keep doing what you do bro. Still miss the college football rebuilds.
One of my first NFL games going to as a Titans fan. Everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting for him to break that big run. He did and that's probably the loudest I've heard a stadium get. His speed was even crazier in person than on tv.
He messed up when he signed with the Jets. Should’ve went to the Packers, Patriots, Colts, or somebody else with a good QB.
Lol I don't think he was given many options
He was cold in his prime ❄️❄️❄️
Y'all act like he didn't ball his first year at Arizona
@@edetii3925 too bad he got hurt . He would've easily got another 1k season
never forget the AP , CJ2K , Lynch and Jamal Charles days😢
Damn that’s a beast of a list, never forget!
You should do a What Happened to for Ron Dayne, the Wisconsin Badger Running Back who won the Heisman and then failed at the NFL level.
Or monte ball
Sam Hein Like every Wisconsin back, IJS.
@@weslandsverk429 He's done Monte Ball. Alcoholic but got better post-football.
Or, as I like to call him, Ron Daynety.
I used to think Chris Johnson was gonna break out like Marshawn Lynch but didnt go to the team. Great video!
I love how in depth you are on your videos. Shows you actually know what you’re talking about.
"He's got running away from the cops speed!"
baker mayfield be like
@@smith3907 no! Because one of those cops was Ray Lewis
Lol still can’t believe he said that on tv
Amen
yo, I was just thinking about this dude, great timing
Gase!!! How u doing man
PHINSUP!
same
another thing off of my bucket list, get a heart from FlemLo.
Kids these days
Back In day bucket lists are like sky diving and stuff like that
You should do a video on Eddie George, that dude was insanely durable especially with the insane amount of carries he got.
Sad story there
That’s my cousin haha proud to be related to him
Man u seem like one of those dudes if we were on a football team together we'd be kicking it tough. Love your podcast and how genuine you are. All love
You should bless us with a “what happened to Jamal Lewis” video. Loved watching that back tear through defenses 🙌🏽
This!!!
A video on Corey Dillon would be good too, so many talented RBs in that age that would have 1k yard season and then disappear
Its cool seeing his ECU highlights, I was a freshman at ECU in 07 and didnt miss a game. That team was stacked, Dwayne Harris was on that team as well. Good memories!
I enjoy listening to your videos young man, you have a nice delivery, you do your research and you're informative. We need more-like-ya.
We love how objective and honest your videos are. You don't over-praise the good to diminish the bad- it's amazing to see such good in-depth videos without agenda or bias. Your content has become something of an obsession for us.
let’s go bro! nobody ever remembers cj2k, much love -random titans fan
I’m from TN and I remember that season so hard he was a crazy player, I loved him
These days “smash and dash” could be used in many different situations...
@Paul Bryson ayeee
Funny and hella true.
Loooters!!! lol
Ayo
Lol so true
Damn growing up I had two favorite running backs Ricky “sticky” Williams and of course my man mr Chris “getting away from the cop speed” Johnson!🏃🏽♂️
Dre Fore: Sticky Ricky lord I loved him lol. Thanks for reminding me. Would’ve loved to see what he could’ve done with no drug tests and a decent team.
As a former titans fan, it was unbelievable to me that they had VY, CJ, and Lendale on the same team and hardly ever ran the read option. With those 3 they would have been unstoppable.
@Rowdy Jr. that's what I'm wondering...🤔
They had Jeff Fisher....
@@Black_Dollarz enough said..they had Fisher lame duck ass
They would’ve been like when West Virginia in NCAA 08
Probably cause this aint the NCAA homie. That might work a couple games but it will get snuffed out quick
I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this but I just felt like I should say thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos. You’re not only my most watched RUclipsr but you’ve helped me understand more and more about football and individuals that come with it. You’re an idol bro🙏
“He’s got getting away from the cop speed” 😂
I gotta say I'm very very analytical when it comes to sports and I watch or listen to almost no one. You are knowledgeable my brother and have been making the same sense of this stuff as I have for years. Much love my brother!
He’s that dude I had as my rb in mut
It’s Madden Ultimate Team
He tooo nasty
Sheepieboi GamingYt yeah, NUT
I love your videos, I was never really super into football, but I found your channel, because of my (now ex sadly) girlfriend who I lost to brain cancer, and we used to watch your videos all the time, and for a while, I stopped watching because they always made me think of her, but then after a while I started watching again, because, after taking time to heal, it only brings back fond memories from when she was here, instead of the tragic memories of her passing and no longer being able to watch videos with her and the sadness that comes with that. Long story short, thank you for your amazing content and the healing it has provided for me
FlemLo looking swole, must be them quarantine gains.
He was low key always swole
Lmao...was thinking the same...he wasn't looking like that before
Flemlo is the goat!!! I'm from Greenville NC where he played in college and I noticed his neck tic growing up. But NOBODY talked about it, or even noticed. When I saw this video go up that was the one thing I was hoping you mentioned! Cj2k and Flemlo are both 🐐s
As a Titans fan and as a kid, I loved CJ. He’s literally the goat in my eyes. But yes, if he honed the skills to play CB, I dont see why he couldn’t be a 1st rounder at corner.
He’s not the greatest of all time, not even top 15.
@@deacongowan117 “in my eyes”
@@jaythesensei1 you can’t say goat, if it infers what the acronym states. G.O.A.T=Greatest Of All Time. He was good, and you have your favorites, but he isn’t the greatest.
@@deacongowan117 lol so you’ve never ranked players with your friends? People can say TB is the goat in their eyes whereas somebody else could say Steve Young. It’s THEIR opinion. Just like CJ being the goat in my opinion.
09 was a fun year, Johnson blowing by fools, and AP blowing over fools every week!
I lowkey didnt like playing against the Titans from Madden 12 or earlier because of CJ2K 😂 he was a CHEAT CODE
It amazes me to watch him run on the field. His strides seem so long and his yet is like everyone else is in a .75 playback speed
I drafted CJ and Aaron Rodgers to my fantasy team 2008 in the late rounds. Needless to say, those two were regulars in my lineup by week 2-3. Andre Johnson, Calvin, Chris, and Rodgers... That was the GOAT team!!!!
Jason Behrens whoever you was playing against obviously don’t know how to draft lol
@@Youngkingkillmunga not true. In 2008 they were all first year starting for the most part, megatron was coming into his 2nd year and didnt have 1000 yrds his rookie season, cj was a rookie and not the consensus number 1 back of his draft (darren mcfadden, ray rice, matt forte, jamal charles, and im sure im missing some) so those were good picks. That being said i drafted matt ryan, peyton manning, megatron, greg Jennings, and cj for my starters that year. Had Brandon marshall, ravens df and steelers df (dont ask me how i pulled that lmao). The op made great picks.
Francisco Davis I feel you
Shoutout to you Flem. I found your channel because I love NCAA 14, and started watching your Rutgers series. I appreciated your humor, skill at the game and storytelling ever since. It’s just good to see a black man building something ground up. Keep it goin bro
So I thought of a couple of peeps that you could do a “What Happened To” video on, but albeit, they’re lesser known people.
“What Happened to Chris Ivory?”
“What Happened to Coby Fleener?”
“What happened to Malcom Floyd? (Longtime receiver for the Chargers)”
Brian bosworth
1. Power backs have brutal declines
2. Too many concussions
3. Never was a speedster, and lost a lot of speed after his age 31 season.
Coby was with the saints but was too injury prone
Jeremy Hill
What happened to the gay guy?
16:19 this is why you’re the best storyteller. I can trust you because you don’t jump on rumors to add drama to already interesting stories. You’re the best, man.
One of my favorite rbs of all time we will never get another cj2k if you to young to have witnessed i feel sorry for you
No doubt. I’m definitely using it next time haha
Been a Titans fan my entire life, and CJs Career was sooo much fun for me to watch. Thanks for the (always incredible) content FlemLo
I remember when he ran for 2000 and I was hoping that his body was hold up. That’s all everybody talked about at that point. “Can he hold up?” He casually came back out like nothing ever happened 😂😂😂. Lot of respect for that guy. I still don’t understand how his body held up so well with all those touches. I bet y’all also forgot that the 2008 Tennessee team went 13-3 (if I’m remembering correctly) and looked like a contender for a Super Bowl.
Cj2k .. Yeah he was beast .. He's in my top 5 rbs of all time and definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame .. Super dope video flemlo
Ay FlemLo , thanks bro they don’t appreciate Chris Johnson enough .
He was a good player and I enjoyed watching him. Just the other day I was wondering what happened to him. I don't often reflect on anything football, and for some reason he popped into my head. Was a joy to watch play.
I remember meeting him and he twitch like he was having terex. I'm from the city of ECU. And Chris Johnson is one of the fastest RB in ECU.
City of ecu.. you mean Greenville
@@O6MustangGT Greenville? You mean G-Vegas
In Tennessee we forever rockin with CJ2K 💯💪🏾
FlemoLo raps your Tha goat 💪🏿
Growing up in Nashville Chris Johnson and PacMan Jones were the two players everybody wanted to be like in elementary school forever one of my hero’s
I remember in high school he was on commercials crazy how life happens
I remember I put c2k with Michael vick on Madden 11 and it was crazy had over 1000 rush yards with vick and over 2000 with c2k
Can you do a video on Tommie Harris, DT from the Bears. He has a story that everyone needs to know about it.
sirthomas00 can you tell mama but about it because I’m not sure if he’ll make a video about it
Great player whose knees gave out on him.
Nah he gotta do Sam Hurd first
@@MakingMovesMajor wasn't he the one who got locked up.i believe he was former cowboys WR
@@kanagawa85 Pretty sure he was trying to sell a lot of cocaine
I actually miss watching Chris Johnson play his swiftness and speed was INSANE
CUE the Wayne!
Cue da wayne 👆🏼😂
Song sucks
The throwback Oilers uniforms looked great, especially in the snow
How you doing flemlo, I hope your doing well during these times
Holy crap! It's Troy!
@@Zachary-it7uq lol
I still remember playing Madden when CJ2K was in the game. Dude was unstoppable, and he truly is one of the greats.
Fun times when it was CJ2K vs AP. Never a dull game
We really going to keep the ALL-TIME single-season yards from scrimmage record holder out of the Hall of Fame?
By far, one of the best sports channels on YT. This gentleman has found his calling.
The story of saquon barkley is kinda cool. He went from not even player varsity minutes as an underclassman to one of the best college Rb prospects ever.
So many times if a defender couldn't get it done at the point of attack, he was going to the end zone. Every play that was a handoff during his tenure on the Titans was exciting. He was such a dynamic player.
We need one with Arian foster man one of the most underrated running back in nfl history
I hope he gets into Canton on that 2009 season alone. One of the most untouchable and unstoppable player I've ever seen enter the league.
And you're right, he wasn't just all speed. His vision and patience I felt were elite as well- and those two things also contributed to him playing so long without getting hurt.
A video of the life and death of Walter Payton would be really interesting
Have you ever heard of A football life
Yeah that’s never been done lmao
One of my favorite RBs ever, specifically because I followed him from when he was playing in HS 15 minutes down the road from me. I loved that he got one more hoorah with arizona after his stint with the jets
Do MJD next this was the running back rivalry of the late 2000s
Oh yes please! Different type of back but exciting to watch
Pocket Hercules as Primetime called him
Fax I loved watching the titans vs jags
When Chris Johnson first got in the league, the Titans were much see TV. He was unstoppable on Madden.

i freaking love your knowledge of football i swear man i could talk sports with you for hours bro. keep these types of videos coming!!!!!
I was playing superstar KO a week ago, I had him, and I thought: "Flemlo should make a video on this"
Flemlo with the Quarantine vids... Much Needed!
Flem you gotta do Miles Austin, I remember him having a couple pretty decent seasons but then he just kinda vanished...
This guy was a dang jackrabbit on the field. So much fun to watch.
This was my favorite running back during his time. I would argue he was better than AP at that time 🤦🏾♂️ lol
the good days even as a AP fan , remember those arguments lol
@@jaygee4017 554 28th 0455 47.25 re r 47.25 r 66 used for
Watching him play at ECU (where I live) was amazing. He made everyone look like they were standing still almost everytime he got the ball. We never had a very good QB with him but it didnt matter. They put the ball in his hands and he was gone.
Facts. ECU has had some speedy RB's over the years.
Yall forgetting bo jackson ran a 4.13 in a 40 yard dash back in 86
Man I love bo jackson
Just found this channel, these vids are holding me off till football season man
Flemlo can you do a video on Desmond Howard, the only kick returner to win super bowl MVP?
Flemlo Raps needs a professional spot on the big shows. He will be one of the top talking heads. He has quite a gift and more talented than owning a channel.
What up Flemlo Raps give me a shout out here from Austin, Texas. Can you please 🙏 do a video on.... What happened to Ron Dayne?? 😎
so I found this channel a few weeks ago and over the course of those few weeks I've watched your videos more frequently each respective day. I have to say you have something unique about you that keeps your videos fresh. Just seems like you genuinely enjoy going out and researching getting the facts right and just giving out football knowledge. Keep the up the grind. 💪.
if andy reid was the coach of the titans when they had vince young and CJ, they would have gone to a superbowl. Jeff fischer wasted and destroyed what could have been something great
or mike vrabel even
