Two of the best athletes in the world could be taking their skills back to the playground days.

According to ESPN.com, Titans running back Chris Johnson is close to securing a race with Olympic gold medal winner Usain Bolt. The winner will supposedly determine who is the fastest man in the world. The only hangup, according to the report, is the distance of the race. Johnson wants the race to be 60 yards or shorter, while Bolt would like a longer race.

Bolt owns the world records for the 100 meters and 200 meters, while Johnson accomplished a much smaller feat, posting the best 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine (4.24 seconds).

On Sunday, Johnson became just the sixth running back in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards.

The report also says that the money raised would be donated to charity.
