Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson has been named to the 2016 NFL Pro Bowl after the Carolina Panthers advanced to the Super Bowl. Johnson will replace Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly.

After missing the 2014 season with a ruptured Achilles injury, Johnson bounced back strong in 2015 to lead the Chiefs with 116 tackles, 95 solo.  He became the Chiefs all-time leading tackler in Week 3.  This season Johnson had 4.0 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.

This is Johnson’s fourth trip to the Pro Bowl.  Johnson will join teammates Eric Berry, Travis Kelce, Tamba Hali, Justin Houston, and Marcus Peters at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
