Running Down Greatness: Kaleb Johnson 2024 vs Shonn Greene 2008
Kaleb Johnson has had a molten-hot start this year. How does his 2024 compare to Shonn Greene's historic 2008 season?
Agreed.
It's crazy how some people don't think KJ has "power"
And think of all the times where it looked like he was stuffed and boom, there he comes out of the pile of humanity.
Here was one of Shonn's great plays.
But KJ is projected to end up with 9 more TDs by season's end.

Here was another memorable Greene run from 2008.
But KJ is gonna end up with over 2,000 yds if he stays healthy.
But KJ is gonna end up with over 2,000 yds if he stays healthy.
The only reason KJ hasn't already broken 1,000 rushing yards is because he didn't play the first half vs Illinois St and wasn't given the carries at Ohio State.
KJ is not only on pace for more TD's than Shonn, he's on pace for way more receptions.
Poor #2 was spun out of his socks and had his bell rung for TD'S in the same game by the same guy.
I wish people would just appreciate the fact that Iowa has been blessed with a couple of really good RBs; one in 2008 and one in 2024
It doesn't have to be a Shonn vs KJ type thing....
"Johnson's production against Big Ten competition and his physical running style suggest he can be a contributor in an NFL backfield rotation from day one.
With continued development in the passing game, he has the upside to become a feature back for a run-heavy offense. His durability and experience in a pro-style system should ease his transition to the next level."

Iowa Star Receives Bold NFL Outlook
The Iowa Hawkeyes are currently 4-2 heading into their matchup this week against the Michigan State Spartans. A lot of their success has come due to one player.
Kaleb also on the 1st Team.
