Chris Johnson refuses to spoil the ending, so everyone will just have to tune in come November to see how he fared against a?cheetah.
The Titans running back and Chicago receiver Devin Hester took part in the human versus animal race for a cable TV?special.
While most people don?t give Hester or Johnson much of chance against a cheetah, Johnson says he ran at full?speed.
?It was a cheetah,? Johnson said Friday with a laugh. ?I had?to.?
A year ago, some didn?t give Johnson a chance against defenses; he was repeatedly questioned whether he had lost a step, or more, coming off the worst season of his career in 2011. He responded by running for 1,243 yards in his third-best season?yet.
And about that speed ? Johnson scored three touchdowns of 80 yards or longer. He now has six such TDs in his career, twice as many as any other player in NFL history. So racing a cheetah for National Geographic?s Nat Geo Wild may help Johnson send a pre-emptive message before the season opens Sept. 8 in?Pittsburgh.
?I haven?t lost any speed,? Johnson said. ?I?m just ready to really get back on the field and continue to play this?game.?
