Christopher “CJ the Jet” Justice Jr.: Blink — and You’ll Miss Him

By Rydrico Walker, ESPN Next-Gen Youth Spotlight

ATLANTA, GA — There’s fast. And then there’s Christopher Justice Jr.

Nicknamed “CJ the Jet,” Justice lives up to the name in every possible way. Blink — and you’ll for sure miss him. By the time defenders react, he’s already past them, leaving nothing behind but footprints and disbelief.

What separates CJ from the rest isn’t just his speed — it’s when and how it shows up. Rain-soaked fields. Muddy conditions. Slippery turf. Situations where most players slow down? That’s where CJ pulls away. While others fight the elements, he runs straight through them, gliding past defenders like the weather doesn’t exist.

“Conditions don’t matter,” one coach said. “Rain, mud, chaos — he’s still the fastest kid on the field.”

Justice’s acceleration is instant. No wasted steps. No hesitation. One cut, one burst, and he’s gone. Angles disappear. Pursuit dies. Plays that look contained turn into explosive gains in seconds.

But CJ isn’t reckless speed — he’s controlled, confident, and decisive. He sees space before it opens and attacks it without hesitation. That combination makes him a nightmare to defend and a constant threat to score from anywhere on the field.

Christopher “CJ the Jet” Justice Jr. doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. He creates separation no matter the environment.

Because speed like this doesn’t slow down — it takes off.
