Houston Texans’ wide receiver Andre Johnson spoke at news conference Friday as he prepares to officially be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Johnson will technically be the second former member of the Texans to be immortalized the Hall of Fame, after safety Ed Reed was elected in 2019. However, Reed played in just seven games for the Texans in 2013—his final NFL season.
Johnson will be the first Hall of Fame member who played a majority of his career in Houston.
