Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is set to be inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2024.
According to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame announced on Thursday that CJ2K would be the latest former Titans player inducted.
“Chris Johnson took the sports world by storm with his explosive plays and blinding speed,” executive director Brad Willis said. “His 2009 record-setting season will be long remembered by sports fans across the state of Tennessee.”
The aforementioned 2009 season saw Johnson join the 2,000-yard club after he rushed for 2,006 yards. He also added 503 receiving yards, which gave him 2,509 scrimmage yards in total, an NFL record.
Johnson joins five other former Titans who have been inducted, a list that includes Blaine Bishop, Keith Bulluck, Eddie George, Steve McNair and Frank Wycheck.
The Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 20, at the Omni Nashville Downtown.
