Chris Johnson shocked the world when he revealed earlier this summer that he had been diagnosed with ALS. CJ2K was one of the most dominant athletes on the planet when he played for the Tennessee Titans. It was shocking to see how quickly the disease has affected him.
The Titans announced today that they will induct CJ into the Ring of Honor on September 13th at halftime of the season opener against the New York Jets. CJ still holds the single-season NFL record for yards from scrimmage with 2,509
in 2009. The Titans were bad that year, but CJ2K gave us a reason to watch the games every Sunday.
Here is what Amy Adams Strunk had to say about CJ’s induction:
“Chris Johnson holds a special place in the hearts of our organization and our fans,” Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in statement. “His stats speak for themselves, and he will forever remain a leader in our record books, but the man behind the yardage deserves just as much celebration. We look forward to welcoming him home on Sept. 13 and officially inducting him into the Titans Ring of Honor.”
