The Facts:
Johnson is used to testing his speed against the NFL's best defensive backs. But on June 9, Johnson will try his luck against some four-legged opposition. To benefit the charity "Feed the Children," Johnson will try to match strides with a 4-year-old colt named Restore the Roar over a turf course.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The event is billed as "Man vs. Beast." The horse will break from the inside from a starting gate at the eighth pole, and Johnson will break from the outside rail going 11/16 of a mile to the wire. The distances are calculated to create a photo finish. ... Johnson won't be the first Bengal to race a horse in this fashion. In July 1993, Cris Collinsworth attempted the feat and came up a nose short at the wire.
