Last week, it was Jamaal Charles. This week it’s Derrick Johnson. Johnson was at the Chiefs’ facility on Wednesday.“I’m very fortunate to be drafted to the Chiefs in 2005,” Johnson says in the video. “Dick Vermeil—he actually told me, ‘We don’t have a high enough pick to pick you up.’ I was thinking the same thing but little did I know how it works in the draft, and at 15 Christian Okoye Jersey , I was there, waiting for Kansas City to pick me.”The Chiefs selected Johnson, and he played with the franchise for 13 years.

Leading tackler for the Chiefs. 1,151 tackles.”Then it was Johnson’s turn to speak to the team.“I wasn’t expecting to speak, but being here for 13 years—man, this is a great opportunity for y’all to do something big,” he said. “Big time. It’s a good time to be a Chief—I’ll tell you that right now. It’s a good time to be a Chief. And there’s a lot of new energy out here, especially with having a new defensive coordinator, so y’all go get them, man. Make sure y’all take advantage of your opportunities Joe Montana Jersey , especially during this time, during the offseason. Make sure you work on something when you get out on the field. That’s how you get better. Look at film, get your corrective criticism or whatnot, come on the field and work on something.

It goes fast, so take advantage, man.”The Chiefs then let Johnson break down one, final huddle.
