Former NFL running back Chris Johnson told TMZ Sports that he won't let his twin sons play the same position as he did, saying he'll encourage them to play quarterback, wide receiver or cornerback.
"I'm going to make sure I keep them away from running back."
Johnson said he doesn't regret playing the position after rushing for 9,651 yards and 55 touchdowns in his career, famously hitting 2,006 rushing yards in the 2009 season. But given the NFL's trend toward devaluing the running back position, Johnson says he would pick a different position if he could start his career over.
