    This is a point I've been trying to make.

    A lot of people made comparisons between Chris Johnson and Reggie Bush....after all, their college numbers were remarkably similar.

    Of course, the critics always point out that Bush did what he did against top-level Division I competition, while CJ did it against wearker C-USA opponents.

    But that sword cuts both ways...at USC, Bush was surrounded by teammates who were first- and second-round draft picks. Those USC teams were absolutely loaded with talent.

    Chris Johnson was pretty much a one-man show, running behind an O-line that failed to field a single NFL prospect this year. CJ was the only ECU player drafted this year.....and last year, the only Pirate drafted into the NFL was WR Aundrae Allison.

    The way I see it, it's pretty much a wash. The bottom line is, CJ was highly productive at the collegiate level, and has skills that should transfer very well to the NFL. It's just a matter of whether the Titans are able to properly utilize him.

    Obviously it is only speculation but you have think if CJ was playing on a team with NFL talent on the OL, at QB, TE and WR and had another RB like LW to help carry the load and had NFL caliber coaches developing the players and calling the plays that he could put up comparable numbers to what he put up at ECU or better against top competition. Go back and look up the OL guys Bush and LW played with. Almost every guy was at least drafted, some very high. You have hogs like that blocking in front of a guy with 4.24 speed (faster than any players at any level including the NFL) along with good vision and lateral ability and you end up with a guy who goes much higher than #24 in the draft.
