Andre Johnson...
9 long years. Can you imagine a guy staying on the same team for 9 long years and going through what he has with this team.
I remember the day we drafted him our of University of Miami and how emotional he was with his mom getting drafted. Then coming here having to deal with losing season after losing season....And then almost making the playoffs two years ago. I was thinking back then we might lose him and he might want to go somewhere else...
He had a choice....he could stay here or go somewhere else. He chose to stay.
That took a lot for him to do that. I know plenty of players who would have bolted from this team. But he chose to stay and see what happens. That stuck with me big time.
Oh yeah...he restructured his contract to bring in other players as well
Waiting for Andre to come back has been hard. I know he was grinding his teeth and could tell he was concerned about his hamstrings. Hopefully those problems are behind him.
This is his time. Its his stage Saturday.
TJ get Andre the ball.......Let Loose the Drekken.....
This is what he has been talking about forever. Well its here. He deserves it and now its time for him to shine.......
Not only a classy player on the field...but a great player off the field with his charity work with a elementary school. A turkey dinner for needy people around Thanksgiving and X-mas toy event for low income kids who deserve it....the list goes on and on. Class off the field.
Andre ....good luck....enjoy.....
