Let the Derrick Johnson Lovefest begin

**BigRedChief** · 04-23-2005, 01:52 PM

Even though DJ was sitting there to be taken King Carl tried to blow this and trade down (according to ESPN) I'm very happy to see he didn't get a chance to blow this.

We got a top notch OLB that will hit someone hard.

Wheres that link to the DJ highlights?

Super Bowl Baby!
