Preseason Starts!

Last night the NFL officially began its preseason schedule and I cannot be more excited about it. As a Chiefs fan one player I am very excited about is #56 Derrick Johnson, a first-round draft pick out of the University of Texas (about as much luv as they are going to get from an MU Tigers fan right now). Like so many of the Chiefs woes over the past two seasons, he struggles to be a consistent player from week to week. But as Johnson has repeatedly stated, as well as teammate and elite LB Zach Thomas, KC’s new defensive scheme seems tailor-made for Johnson’s skill-set. In fact Johnson says he is being asked to do the things that he did while at Texas, and hence be that first-round pick (#15 over all I believe) I’m looking forward to this highlight video expanding during the 2009 season by a lot.
