NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Titans record-setting, All-Pro running back, Chris Johnson and The Chris Johnson 28 Foundation partnered with The Playmakers Foundation for a special Thanksgiving turkey giveaway on Tuesday outside LP Field.
While this was the first year Johnson's foundation has hosted this event in the Nashville area, the foundation previously hosted the "Gobble, Gobble" turkey giveaway in Orlando, Fla., where Johnson still refers to as home. One hundred local families in need were provided with turkeys.
"I really wanted to come out to give back to the community," Johnson said. "We have all the running backs here and a few of our safeties, it's good they came out, too, because a lot of people see us on the field but really never have a chance to meet us in person.''
Running backs Darius Reynaud, Jamie Harper and Javon Ringer and safeties Michael Griffin and Jordan Babineaux helped Johnson distribute the turkeys.
