AP’s top offensive player comes up

Chris Johnson won the Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. He was setting a league mark and becoming the sixth player who owns a 2,000-yard rushing season.

As we all know He is the first NFL player to finish with at least 2,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving (503). The event held on Wednesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. Johnson defeated New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, who received nine votes. To Johnson, it was a big supprise. “I didn’t even get one vote at all (for MVP),” Johnson said. “Like the season I had, it seemed like, `What more do they want me to do?’ That just felt like rookie of the year; it’s a quarterback thing I guess.”

Yup, if he wants to heep the honors, he needs to keep wonderful numbers and go head before other players with the NFL jerseys.
