Derrick Johnson Biography

Derrick Johnson was a two-time consensus All-American at the University of Texas and proved himself worthy of the first round selection the Kansas City Chiefs spent on him in 2005.  Since that time he’s remained with the Chiefs and been one of the most consistent inside linebacker’s in the National Football League.  Over the course of ten seasons he’s started 125 of his team’s 138 games and notched 725 tackles to go along with 22.5 sacks and 11 interceptions, three of which he returned for a touchdown.  In 2011 he hit his stride, posting 100 tackles for the first time in his career and earning the first of his three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances.  That season he also earned his first All-Pro nod.  In 2013 he made his third trip to the Pro Bowl and earned Defensive MVP honors at the game.  He’s a consistent stopper on the defensive side of the ball, and is quickly becoming one of the best defensive players in Kansas City history.
