Well this is different! Chris Johnson & Devin Hester have raced a cheetah & it will be shown on TV in November! I’m definitely curious to see how it turned out, but I’m gonna go ‘head and chose the Cheetah to win this one. Lol.
Details after the jump…
Via NFL.com:
The Tennessee Titans running back and Chicago Bears return specialist raced the great cat during a “Nat Geo Wild” special that will air in November during Big Cat Week, which in no way is attempting to co-opt the success of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.
“This is the most incredible challenge I’ve ever faced,”Johnson told TheWrap.com. “I wanted to go up against the fastest in the world and test myself, and this was it!”
According to people who knows these things, the cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in three seconds.
Nat Geo Wild Executive V.P. Geoff Daniels said he’s eager to show viewers what it looks like when the world’s fastest land animal runs alongside fast human beings.
“We loved the idea of a face-off like no other between supreme athletes and an alpha predator,” Daniels said. “This isn’t sports, it’s amazing science.”
