JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a
leading sports betting and digital gaming company, announced today
the signing of former Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals
running back Chris Johnson as its
newest brand ambassador. The fan favorite will be featured in
BetMGM's upcoming marketing campaigns, promotions, social media
content and fan events.
"I'm excited to join the BetMGM team and to have a new platform
to engage with CJ2K fans around the country," said Johnson. "BetMGM
is at the forefront of the excitement surrounding sports betting
and is a perfect fit for me to get involved in this rapidly growing
industry."
Over the course of 10 NFL seasons, Johnson was one of the
league's most prolific players. The running back earned the moniker
"CJ2K" in 2009 when he rushed for 2,006 yards for the Titans,
making him one of eight players in NFL history to eclipse 2,000
rushing yards in a single season.
Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue
Officer, BetMGM, said, "Throughout his career, Chris Johnson thrilled fans with his performance
on the football field, week in and week out. As we continue to
expand BetMGM's presence in Arizona and Tennessee, Chris will play a key role in
helping us provide new and engaging experiences for our
customers."
As BetMGM continues to expand into new jurisdictions,
responsible gaming education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud
