Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson Explains Moment He Knew He Was Back

Derrick Johnson is just 19 tackles shy of becoming the Kansas City Chiefs’ all-time leader in that category by passing former Chiefs great Gary Spani (999).

On Tuesday, Johnson spoke about the moment at practice in which he knew he was back to his regular form.

“There was one time they threw the ball out to Knile (Davis) in the flat and I tracked him down pretty good,” Johnson explained.

“Then, the next play, Jamaal (Charles) caught a ball on me, so I guess I went back down a little bit.
