Let’s get this out of the way from the jump … Derrick Johnson is a 35-year old, 13-year veteran inside linebacker with four Pro Bowls (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015).
Too old, lost a step, progress stopper? I’m sure they’ll be many exaggerated criticisms along these lines from the naysayers. That train is never late.
Those type of comments fail to evaluate his current level of play, reasonable market value, and versatile fit in the Dallas Cowboys defense.
