Chris Johnson is on track to break Eric Dickerson single season rushing record, and has rushed for 150 or more yards in 5 straight weeks, he also remains a credible threat in the passing game coming out the backfield. Chris Johnson is currently averaging 6.2 yards per carry, only two other running backs in NFL history have averaged more than 6.2 yards per carry since 1967. Adrian Peterson became everyone's unanimous pick as the best running back in the NFL. However, this year, the argument has become more muddled with the emergence of Chris Johnson. Not only that, Chris Johnson is quite possibly the most exciting player in the NFL. In just over a year-and-a-half, Johnson has fumbled twice, while Peterson, in two-and-a-half-plus seasons, has put the ball on the ground 17 times. But you cannot argue that Adrian Peterson can break games wide open, and every time he touches the ball we expect to see big things happen. Whether it be running through the second level of the defense and hardly breaking stride or running somebody over. I do not know which one I would pick but for right now I'll enjoy the show of having two great backs in the NFL as one is leaving.
