Chris Johnson was once one of the top running backs in the NFL. His 2,006-yard 2009 season is still one of the greatest in NFL history and earned him the CJ2K nickname. He wasn’t playing at that level by the time he came to the New York Jets in 2014 though.
Sadly, Johnson found himself in some unpleasing off-field headlines throughout his career. Johnson’s first run-in with gang violence came shortly after his time with the Jets. According to TMZ, the three-time Pro Bowler was shot in a gang-related incident in 2015. He survived, but his friend Dreekius Johnson didn’t.
