On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson will be inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.
Johnson, a former standout at Waco High School, joins former Chicago Bears perennial All-Pro linebacker Mike Singletary and six others into the 2015 Hall of Fame class.
“It’s a big accomplishment to be named among the greats,” Johnson said on Thursday. “Especially with the legends in the state of Texas, where high school football is so big.
“When you get an award like that, you can’t say you did it all yourself. Football is a team sport and life is a team sport.
