Derrick Johnson played all but his last season of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs and the former 1stRound Pick from Texas would slowly work his way to the upper echelon of NFL Linebackers and he would be named to four Pro Bowls out of five from 2011 to 2015. Johnson, who was also named a First Team All-Pro in 2011 would have five years where he had more than 105 Combined Tackles and retired with 1,168 overall with 27.5 Quarterback Sacks and 14 Interceptions.
While Derek Anderson is best known for a meltdown, he had at a post-game press conference when asked why he was seen laughing on the sidelines after his team was blown out on a national television.
That aside, we are talking about a 13-year veteran who may have been predominantly a backup but was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2007 when he was starting for the Cleveland Browns and threw for 29 Touchdowns, 3,787 Yards and led the league in Yards per Catch. The Quarterback never came close to a season like that again but would find work for over a decade after. He retired with 10,878 Passing Yards.
Dubbed “Pacman”, Adam Jones was a highly touted First Round Pick from West Virginia but he would become more known for off-field problems than his on-field accomplishments. This doesn’t mean that Jones didn’t have a lot of gridiron success as he would be named a First Team All-Pro in 2014 as a Cincinnati Bengal as a Returner. That year, he would lead the NFL in Yards per Kick Return, and earlier in 2006 as a Tennessee Titan, he would do the same in Punt Returns. In his regular position at Cornerback he would accumulate 17 Interceptions.
Ahmad Brooks was chosen by the Supplemental Draft in 2006 by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006 but it was when he joined the San Francisco 49ers that he would have his best success. Brooks would have a Pro Bowl season in 2013, a year after he helped the Niners win the NFC and represent the conference in the Super Bowl. Brooks would retire with 55.0 Quarterback Sacks.
