Linebacker Derrick Johnson and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs were given the day off from practice Thursday afternoon, but Johnson didn’t dedicate the whole day to rest and relaxation.
At around 5:30 p.m., Johnson went to Arrowhead Stadium for his third annual backpack giveaway in connection with his Defend the Dream Foundation.
"My foundation caters to inner-city kids through education,” Johnson said. “This program, ‘Gearing Up,’ gives out backpacks full of supplies just so that they can be very confident on the first day of school.”
