Kentucky wide receiver and kickoff return specialist Barion Brown was the fastest player in college football. EA Sports College Football 25 took notice. Anyone who has played with Kentucky has noticed just how ridiculous Brown is in that game.

The former top-100 recruit owns a 98 speed rating making him one of the fastest players in the game. Brown is almost unstoppable as a vertical receiver for Brock Vandagriff. Many people are starting to take notice. Former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson is one of those people.

The three-time first-team All-Pro receiver with 766 career receptions and six Pro Bowl selections is calling his shot. The 46-year-old has challenged Barion Brown to a race.

Saw somebody use @BarionBrown on CF25 & now i want to race 😤

The Kentucky receiver only need 12 minutes to respond on X. Brown seemingly accepted Johnson’s challenge on Tuesday night and asked the famous wideout to come to Lexington and make it happen.

Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson’s daughter, Cha’iel Johnson, is currently on Kentucky’s track and field team. That means the former Bengals star is spending some time in Lexington. It’s time to get him at Kroger Field.

With Kentucky’s fan day quickly approaching, this feels like the perfect opportunity to make this match happen. My money is on the young wide receiver who reached 22.6 miles per hour on his kickoff return touchdown against Louisville last November.
