CINCINNATI (AP) -- Chad Johnson got a head start without having to jump offside, and beat his coverage to the goal line again.
The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was waiting at the finish line when Restore the Roar arrived at the end of his one-eighth-mile gallop. That's right: Johnson raced a horse Saturday and easily won.
Johnson was spotted a 100-meter lead -- roughly about half the distance the horse had to cover in the race for charity. And when it was over, Johnson, as usual, was anything but humble. He sounded ready to take on boxing, basketball and NASCAR.
"Floyd Mayweather, you're next," Johnson said. "I want to fight you. I'd like to take Kobe and LeBron one-on-one. Jeff Gordon, we can take a couple laps. ... Now it's my time to take over the race world."
The 4-year-old colt's jockey, P.J. Cooksey, rode a horse that beat former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth in 1993. She sounded more impressed with Johnson's speed.
"He's quick," Cooksey said. "He's a fast man. That was phenomenal. When I looked over at him, all I could see were his legs; they looked like a windmill. He was a blur. I was beat bad."

What do you think would be the equivalent of a 100-meter head start? Mayweather with an arm behind his back? Kobe and LeBron geared up for a potato sack race? Gordon in a minivan? Lots to think about.

Not impressive, a race horse can run a km in 1 minute so in order to run 200m it would take 15 seconds while Chad Johnson would only have to run 100m and many WR can most likely run 100m in under 15 seconds

I am a track guy and I know for a fact that every player in the NFL can run a 100m in under 15 seconds. Heck, my cousin that was on my varsity track team is a 7th grade girl who runs a 13 second 100m. I'm a skinny white boy who runs a 10.9 so im pretty sure they can all get under 15 seconds, lol.
