Over the course of 10 NFL seasons, Johnson was one of the league's most prolific players, earning “CJ2K” in 2009 when he rushed for 2,006 yards for the Titans, making him one of the eight players in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a single season. 

"I'm excited to join the BetMGM team and to have a new platform to engage with CJ2K fans around the country. BetMGM is at the forefront of the excitement surrounding sports betting and is a perfect fit for me to get involved in this rapidly growing industry”, added Johnson. 

Extremely excited to announce that I’m joining the @betmgm team! See you soon #TitanNation
