Chris Johnson and LenDale White have big ideas for the Titans
Super Bowl week is always a fun time and you never know who will show up on radio row. On Friday, former Tennessee Titans running back tandem Chris Johnson and LenDale White reunited at the Super Bowl to promote their Smash & Dash podcast. In a conversation with Jim Wyatt, the two dove into many topics, including their thoughts on what the Titans should do this offseason and with the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft. From #SuperBowl: Smash & Dash @thereal_lendale and @ChrisJohnson28 have love for the @Titans — and solutions. In New Orleans, they discuss their friendship, their podcast, the NFL Draft, free agency thoughts and more. 🎥 — Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) February 8, 2025 'We said on our show: With the first pick … We want Travis Hunter,' White said. 'No disrespect to Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, but he's a generational talent. Obviously, he plays corner, but I don't think we give him enough credit for what he does on the offensive side of the football.' This isn't the first time someone has mentioned Hunter being a potential match for the Titans. In fact, according to many of the draft experts, he may be the only clear generational talent in this class and that is something the Titans have openly expressed they are looking for. Both Johnson and White believe the new front office can turn things around and have high hopes that things can happen quickly. Of course, they also have some interesting ideas on how to make it happen. Whether it was picking up quarterback Aaron Rodgers or trading for Myles Garrett, they were committed to taking Hunter with that selection. While Rodgers and Garrett may be on the Smash & Dash wish list, they may not fit with what the front office has in mind this offseason. Like everyone else, these two former Titans are ready for the offseason to start rolling along. Next stop is the NFL Combine.

Chris Johnson's proudest accomplisment? 2,500 yards from scrimmage
We've got a ton of guests lined up for this week's PFT Live. More are scheduled in advance. Some just happen while we're hanging out near radio row and talking to the folks who stop by. On Tuesday, Simms ran into a pair of his former Titans teammates — running backs Chris Johnson and LenDale White, now of the Smash & Dash podcast. We put them at the desk for a trip down memory lane that included reminiscing about Johnson's first NFL carry, in the 2008 preseason. Johnson went 66 yards for a touchdown against the Rams. At that moment, he knew he'd thrive at the pro level. His proudest memory is also one that doesn't get the credit it should. In 2009, he set an all-time record (that still stands) with 2,509 yards from scrimmage. He did it via 2006 yards rushing and 503 yards receiving. Yards from scrimmage should be a bigger deal than it is. It's the total measure of a player's output, regardless of whether he took a handoff or caught a pass. Second on the all-time list is former Rams running back Marshall Faulk, who generated 2,429 in 1999. Third is running back Christian McCaffrey, with 2,392 for the Panthers in 2019. In his prime, few were more effective than CJ2K. And no one but him has ever been good for 2.5K in a single season. The full interview appears in the attached video. Other highlights include White's reaction to his former USC coach, Pete Carroll, landing another head-coaching job, along with White's observation that Simms smoked more weed than Snoop Dogg.
