As announced by the team’s official Twitter account, former star linebacker Derrick Johnson retired from the NFL on Wednesday — as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
And if this video the Chiefs posted doesn’t bring a tear to your eye... well, I don’t know what to tell you.
Johnson, 36, was selected by the Chiefs 15th overall in the 2005 NFL draft. He played for 14 seasons — all but one as a member of the Chiefs. A four-time Pro Bowl player, he was an All-Pro in 2011 at the age of 29 — a year in which the Chiefs went only 7-9.
