On the latest edition of THE STAMPEDE, former Texas linebacker and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Derrick Johnson joins Mack Brown, Vince Young and Bob Ballou. They discuss why Johnson chose Texas, his time as a Longhorn, being selected 15th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2005 NFL draft and more!

The guys also dive into which Longhorns are standing out to them following their visit to practice last week and Saturday's "Football Fan Day."

Just days ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, they examine Michael Taaffe's draft stock, which Longhorns could make an immediate impact in the league and what excites them about this year's draft.
