Chris Johnson thinks he can beat Michael Vick in a race

Ron Chenoy / USA TODAY Sports

New York Jets running back Chris Johnson, who once raced a Cheetah, has now set his sights on a teammate. Well, sort of. 

Johnson was asked on an NFL podcast hosted by Dave Dameshek who would win between him and Michael Vick in a 50-yard dash. 

"Of course, me," Johnson said. "My 40 (time) hasn't been broken yet," Johnson said. "That's the evidence right there."

Johnson may want to reconsider his statements, as the last time a younger teammate challenged Vick, they ended up getting dusted. 

Last spring LeSean McCoy pestered Vick for a race several times before the quarterback finally gave in. Then Vick easily handled McCoy in the showdown. 

Not surprisingly, McCoy said Vick cheated because he jumped out of the gates early. 

Sadly there was no actual video evidence to back up either player's claim, but here's how things probably went down.
