Andre Johnson

Andre Johnson, a 6’3”, 229-pound wide receiver out of Miami, was selected in the first round (third overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. He played 14 seasons in the League with the Texans (2003-2014), Indianapolis Colts (2015) and Tennessee Titans (2016).

An offensive powerhouse, Johnson helped the Texans reach their first playoff berth in 2011. In 2008, he led the NFL in both receptions (115) and receiving yards (1,575). He followed up that All-Pro season with a league-best 1,569 receiving yards in 2009, another All-Pro season. Johnson also led the NFL with 103 catches in 2006 and finished his career with five 100-plus reception seasons — more than any current member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Johnson is one of three players — along with Hall of Famers CALVIN JOHNSON and JERRY RICE — to lead the National Football League in receiving yards in back-to-back years. 

His career stats include 1,062 catches for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns in 193 regular-season games. Following his final season in Houston (2014), he held dozens of team records, including career receiving yards (13,591), career receptions (1,012) and most seasons (10) leading the team in receptions. 

When Johnson retired following the 2016 season, he was tied for third in the NFL with three career games with 200 or more receiving yards. He received first-team All-Pro honors in 2008 and 2009 as well as second-team honors in 2006 and 2012. He was voted to seven Pro Bowls over a 10-year span (2005, 2007, 2009-2011, 2013-14). 

He was the first player inducted into the Texans’ Ring of Honor in 2017.
