Chris Johnson Giving Fans Chance to Challenge Him to Footrace as Part of Charity Auction Chris Johnson is fast. He's very fast. For the right price, you can find out just how fast he really is.

The Tennessee Titan running back is giving fans a chance to bid on the opportunity to take him on in a footrace. Johnson, who ran a 4.24-second 40-yard dash at the combine prior to being drafted, is offering the opportunity on CharityBuzz.com. The proceeds will go to The RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights.

The race will amount to a 100-yard dash as Johnson will race the highest bidder to the 50-yard line and back.

Those feeling fast will have to pony up some cash to prove it, though. The opening bid for the experience — which includes autographs — is set for $500.

It's not the first time Johnson has been willing to put his speed on display for charity. He and world-class sprinter Usain Bolt were reportedly in talks about a race for charity in 2010, but it never came to fruition.
